Severo Ochoa University Hospital has inaugurated a nursing consultation specialised in coloproctology. This service aims to improve care for patients after colon and rectal surgery.
Severo Ochoa University Hospital in Leganés has taken a significant step in caring for patients undergoing colorectal surgeries with the opening of a new nursing consultation. This service, which has advanced competencies in coloproctology, aims to provide comprehensive support from the moment before the intervention to the patient's recovery. The initiative addresses common concerns that arise after leaving the operating room, such as wound care and proper dietary management.
The key figure in this new consultation is a specialised nurse who will work alongside the medical team to offer a multidisciplinary approach. According to hospital officials, this model aims to be more accessible and tailored to the specific needs of both patients and their families.
“We want our patients to feel supported throughout their entire care process,” stated a hospital spokesperson.
This new service is integrated within the framework of the coloproctology unit, which recently received advanced level accreditation from the Spanish Association of Coloproctology. This distinction highlights Severo Ochoa Hospital's commitment to providing specialised and personalised care to those suffering from conditions related to the colon and rectum.
Over the past year, the hospital has implemented various improvements in its surgical services, always seeking to optimise the patient experience. With this new consultation, it is expected to not only reduce postoperative complications but also increase overall satisfaction among users.
Compared to other healthcare institutions in Spain, where such consultations are still scarce, Severo Ochoa positions itself as a benchmark in coloproctological care. The creation of this consultation is part of a growing trend towards more personalised and patient-centred care models.
Those interested can access this new service by contacting the hospital directly or visiting its website for more information on schedules and requirements. The official opening is scheduled for early next month, allowing patients to quickly benefit from this innovative proposal.
