Specialists in spinal ailments

The professionals who make up the Advanced Spine Institute (Instituto Avanzado de Columna, IAC) take a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis, treatment and recovery of spinal diseases.

Our extensive surgical and research experience mean that we always place the patient at the centre of the treatment.

In addition to technological aspects, we work on the development of pioneering tools for patient care. We design individualised procedures adapted to the needs of each patient with the greatest possible guarantees of success, applying evidence-based medicine.

Innovating

We have introduced innovative techniques that reduced hospital stays from 6 days to 2.

The IAC was one of the first spine units in Spain to innovate through using different techniques in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures and one of the first centres in Spain to perform minimally invasive surgery.

We are pioneers in the treatment of elderly patients, with treatments similar to those for young patients, without prejudice or premature diagnoses. For the IAC, age is not a determining factor.

Jiménez Díaz Foundation

The Jiménez Díaz Foundation is the first hospital in the world to be awarded the EFQM Global Award, the most prestigious international management award. A leader in the healthcare sector, the hospital is recognised as a benchmark for its quality, its highly qualified professional staff, its vocation for constant innovation and its state-of-the-art technology.

At the end of 2020, the Jiménez Díaz Foundation was recognised as the best hospital in Spain for the fifth consecutive year, according to the IEH Hospital Excellence Index. In addition, it has received the EFQM 5 STARS 650+ recognition of excellence.
It has recently renovated its surgical area, with more than 6,000 m2 of new facilities with 18 operating theatres equipped with the most advanced technology: two hybrid operating theatres designed to be among the best in Europe, with a navigation and intraoperative planning system that allows maximum reliability in procedures and a reduction in the average stay from 6 days to 2; an operating theatre with magnetic resonance imaging and incorporated intraoperative planning system, an operating theatre for robotic surgery equipped with the most advanced platform (the Da Vinci system), and six integrated operating theatres that allow the surgery to be live broadcast anywhere in the world.
