surgical
oncology department has a team of qualified and trained surgical oncologists;
each
specialized for every part / system of the body that is prone to cancer, like
uro-oncologist,
breast oncologist, gastro-oncologist etc. All types of cancer surgeries are done
as per
international standard in the state-of-art operation theatres. The surgical team
is backed by
a well-equipped postoperative intensive care unit for smooth recovery of all
patients. The
patient and family members benefit from a strong social support group of
volunteers
attached to this institute.
Types of Surgery:
Open Surgery
Key Hole Surgery (MIS):
Minimally invasive surgery limits the size of surgical incisions needed so that
the blood loss, wound
healing time, associated pain and scarring, hospitalization time, risk of
infection, and postsurgical
complications are usually much less.
Imaging techniques like arthroscopic or laparoscopic techniques and
radiologists, surgeons are able
to diagnose, identify internal features, and perform surgical procedures with
very small incisions.
