Minimally invasive surgical techniques for gastrointestinal cancers
Laparoscopic surgery, also known as minimally invasive or keyhole surgery, has transformed the field of gastrointestinal surgery with reduced pain and faster recovery.
Liver resection or hepatectomy is a complex and challenging procedure. Experience and expertise helps us do this procedure through key hole incisions.
Choledochal cyst is dilatation of bile duct. Laparoscopic choledochal cyst surgery gives us all the advantages of laparoscopic surgery.
Stomach cancer surgery is also done laparoscopically in early stages. Advantages are faster recovery and less pain.
Laparoscopic Colon cancer and rectal cancer surgery is routinely done. It results in excellent outcome.
Oesophageal cancer surgery used to be associated with large incisions in chest and abdomen. With thoracoscopic and laparoscopic approach, the benefits are exceptional.
Surgery for pancreatic and periampullary cancer is Whipple procedure. In select cases it can be done laparoscopically.
Surgery for pancreatic tumour and cysts in the body and tail of pancreas is distal pancreatectomy. Excellent outcomes are now achieved with laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy.
Fundoplication is surgery for gastroesophageal reflux disease. This procedure is routinely done through laparoscopic approach.
Heller myotomy is a surgical procedure for achalasia cardia. In this the muscles of the cardia are cut, allowing food and liquids to pass to the stomach.
Nephroscopic or minimal invasive necrosectomy in acute pancreatitis helps minimise the morbidity of this devastating disease.
Robotic surgery combines surgeon expertise with robotic precision and flexibility for enhanced outcomes in GI cancer treatment.
