The General and Digestive Surgery Department had already pioneered last year the removal of a pancreatic tumor using an intraoperative venous bypass.

The SEPI-IA prototype, funded with 5 million euros by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, through the CDTI, allows for the identification of lesions invisible to the naked eye and simulates the progression of pulmonary fibrosis.

The new equipment is specially designed to perform procedures through a single incision.

Last year, a total of 295 kidney, liver and cardiac transplants were carried out at the centre, thanks to the generosity of donors and their families and the involvement of the professionals. HUB has also led tissue and cadaver donation in Catalonia, the pillar that makes the transplant system in our region possible. In addition, its renal transplant and living donor activities place HUB at the forefront of hospitals across the country in these areas.

These two robotic devices will facilitate earlier and more efficient recovery for patients with mobility difficulties in their legs. HUB has this equipment for the first time thanks to a global purchasing programme by the Department of Health, which has acquired 13 for centres with Clinical Expertise Units (UEC).

The Catalan Institute of Oncology, Bellvitge University Hospital and IDIBELL, with the support of the University of Barcelona, have been accredited by the OECI as a Comprehensive Cancer Centre (CCC) – the highest European recognition for the integrated approach to cancer care

This is the only CCC in Spain and Catalonia that brings together four independent public institutions working in a coordinated and networked manner, with a team of more than 1,500 professionals leading activities ranging from research and prevention to comprehensive patient care
