Upper gastrointestinal cancer surgery includes operations for cancers of the esophagus and stomach. Surgical planning depends on the location of the tumor, disease stage and overall patient health.
Esophageal cancer surgery involves removing the affected portion of the esophagus and reconstructing the digestive tract in patients with operable disease.
Video-assisted thoracoscopic esophagectomy is a minimally invasive technique used for selected esophageal cancers and may help reduce the size of surgical incisions compared with traditional open surgery.
Stomach cancer surgery may involve partial or total removal of the stomach together with regional lymph nodes, depending on tumor location and disease stage.
Colorectal cancer surgery involves removal of the affected segment of the colon or rectum and nearby lymph nodes, with minimally invasive techniques considered in suitable patients.
Rectal cancer surgery aims to remove the tumor with adequate margins while preserving bowel and pelvic function wherever clinically possible.
HPB cancer surgery focuses on complex tumors involving the liver, pancreas, gallbladder and bile ducts and requires detailed imaging and multidisciplinary treatment planning.
Pancreatic cancer surgery may involve complex pancreatic resections in selected patients with localized and surgically removable disease.
Liver cancer surgery may involve removal of the tumor-bearing portion of the liver when the disease is resectable and adequate healthy liver tissue can be preserved.
Gallbladder cancer surgery may include removal of the gallbladder, adjacent liver tissue and regional lymph nodes depending on disease stage.
Bile duct cancer surgery involves removing the affected bile duct and surrounding tissues when the tumor is considered surgically resectable.
Breast cancer surgery may include breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy according to tumor size, location, stage and individual patient factors.
Breast oncoplastic surgery combines tumor removal with reconstructive techniques to maintain or restore breast shape while achieving appropriate cancer clearance.
Lung cancer surgery may involve removal of part of the affected lung in selected patients with localized disease and adequate respiratory reserve.
Gynecological cancer surgery may be used for selected ovarian, uterine and cervical malignancies as part of a multidisciplinary cancer treatment plan.
Skin cancer surgery aims to completely remove malignant skin lesions while preserving surrounding healthy tissue and function whenever possible.
Soft-tissue tumor surgery involves removing malignant or suspicious tumors affecting muscles, connective tissue and other soft tissues with appropriate surgical margins.
Minimally invasive cancer surgery uses laparoscopic or thoracoscopic techniques to perform selected cancer operations through smaller incisions, potentially supporting faster postoperative recovery.
