Services Offered

Surgical Consultation and Evaluation

We start our relationship with patients by carefully evaluating their health. The surgical team consults with patients in-depth, examines their medical history, and works with other specialists to decide on the best course of action.

Cancer Surgery

Lymph Node Dissection: This procedure involves removing and examining neighbouring lymph nodes to assess the spread of the malignancy and inform future treatment options.
Tumour resection: The surgical excision of tumours with the aim of removing the malignant tissue, which may require the removal of all or a portion of the affected organ.
Reconstructive Surgery: Restoring appearance and function following tumour removal, particularly when there has been a large amount of tissue loss.
Minimally Invasive Surgery: Using cutting-edge methods like robotic or laparoscopic surgery to execute cancer surgeries with fewer incisions that have a quicker healing time and less scarring.
Organ Preservation Surgery: In some circumstances, such as partial nephrectomy for kidney cancer, surgeons try to remove as little tissue as possible in order to preserve organ function.
Cytoreductive Surgery: In advanced cancer situations, this is a specialised treatment aimed at removing as much of the tumour as feasible.
Prophylactic Surgery: In some cases, people who are at high risk of developing cancer may choose to have prophylactic (preventive) surgery to remove organs or tissues that are predisposed to cancer, such as a prophylactic mastectomy for people who have a strong family history of breast cancer and a genetic predisposition.

Palliative Surgery

We provide palliative surgical techniques to treat symptoms, lessen pain, and enhance the patient's quality of life for patients with advanced cancer or in situations where total cure is not possible.

Post-operative Care

The department offers comprehensive post-operative care to treat pain, monitor recovery, and address any issues that may occur following surgery.
