Types of Cancer Surgeries

1. Staging Surgery: Staging surgery helps determine the size and spread of the tumor. This essential procedure, combined with other diagnostic tests, allows doctors to accurately assess the cancer stage and decide on the most appropriate treatment plan.
2. Primary Surgery (Curative Surgery): One of the most common types of cancer surgeries, primary surgery aims to remove the tumor or affected parts of the body. In some cases, this surgery alone can be curative, while in others, it may be combined with chemotherapy or radiation therapy to enhance treatment effectiveness.
3. Reconstructive or Plastic Surgery: After tumor removal, reconstructive or plastic surgery may be necessary to restore the body’s appearance and function. This type of surgery is especially important for improving the quality of life and self-esteem of patients who have undergone major cancer surgeries.
4. Preventive Surgery: Preventive surgery is used to remove tissues that are at high risk of developing into cancer. This proactive approach is particularly common in patients with genetic predispositions or pre-cancerous conditions.

Minimally Invasive Surgeries

Our hospital is equipped with advanced technology to perform minimally invasive surgeries, which involve smaller incisions and offer faster recovery times. These procedures include:

• Laparoscopic Surgery: Laparoscopic surgery involves making small incisions through which a surgeon inserts a lighted tube with a camera, allowing for precise surgery with minimal tissue damage.
• Endoscopy: Endoscopy uses a thin, flexible tube equipped with a light and camera to examine internal organs. This technique is often used for diagnostic purposes, such as taking tissue samples (biopsies) for further analysis.
• Laser Surgery: Laser surgery uses a narrow beam of high-intensity light to remove cancerous tissues with precision, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
