The commitment of Vall d'Hebron University Hospital to innovation allows us to be at the forefront of medicine, providing first class care adapted to the changing needs of each patient.
The Traumatology, Rehabilitation and Burns Hospital responds to all pathologies in the musculoskeletal system and processes that lead to disability, especially highly complex processes, such as spinal cord injury and severe burns.
How to get there
The aim of the Hospital of Traumatology, Rehabilitation and Burns is to achieve the highest level of independence, functional capacity and quality of life for patients. To achieve this, the medical centre offers specialised surgical and rehabilitation care. In addition, our medical team is made up of specialists in orthopaedic surgery, plastic surgery, rehabilitation, neurosurgery, anaesthesiology and intensive medicine, as well as nursing teams and healthcare technicians specialised in caring for these patients.
Complex processes such as spinal cord injuries, multiple traumas, craniocephalic trauma and spina bifida are treated with a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach. The work carried out in this field of knowledge puts the hospital at the top of spinal cord injury and trauma in Catalonia.
The Vall d’Hebron Burns Unit has extensive experience in treating severe burns. It also supports the care of burns patients in other centres. The telemedicine project particularly stands out in this area, assessing and monitoring burns patients remotely. The Unit’s daily work in the care and treatment of severe burns patients has made it a leading CSUR (Centres, Services and Units of Reference) in Spain and Andorra.
The Trauma Center is a pioneering facility that provides immediate care to severe and emergency polytrauma patients. Covering 814 m² on floor -1 of the Traumatology, Rehabilitation and Burns Hospital, the centre is fully equipped to treat all degrees of polytrauma. Its facilities include a polytrauma room to stabilise patients, with the capacity to simultaneously treat two severe cases, and an adjacent CT scanner, available 24 hours a day, to help rapidly establish the appropriate treatment strategy. It also has two operating theatres, one of which is hybrid and fitted with angiography technology to perform embolisations and control post-traumatic haemorrhages without the need for intra-hospital transfers. This care model puts the patients at its centre, while professionals from various specialities move around them to offer efficient, coordinated care.
The creation of the Trauma Center completes a process started in 2021, with the installation of a heliport on the roof of the Traumatology, Rehabilitation and Burns Hospital. The heliport is just two minutes from the Emergency Department, significantly reducing patient transfer times and thus improving their prognosis. Providing care to an average of 300 severe emergency polytrauma patients a year, Vall d’Hebron has become a leading centre in the approach to these pathologies, offering a rapid, specialised response that minimises avoidable mortality and associated sequelae.
