Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgery

Dr. Tirathram Kaushik provides surgical treatment for selected gastrointestinal cancers, including tumours involving the stomach, esophagus, colon and rectum. Treatment is planned according to cancer type, stage and involvement of nearby organs.

Liver Cancer Surgery

Liver cancer surgery may involve removal of a tumour together with a portion of the liver in suitable patients. Detailed imaging and assessment of remaining liver function are important before surgery.

Pancreatic Cancer Surgery

Dr. Tirathram Kaushik provides surgical treatment for selected pancreatic cancers when the tumour is considered operable. Pancreatic cancer surgery requires specialised HPB expertise and multidisciplinary planning.

Gallbladder Cancer Surgery

Surgery for gallbladder cancer may involve removal of the gallbladder along with nearby liver tissue and lymph nodes depending on disease stage and tumour spread.

Gynecological Cancer Surgery

Dr. Tirathram Kaushik provides surgical management for selected ovarian, uterine and other gynecological cancers. Treatment may involve removal of affected reproductive organs and lymph nodes depending on the disease stage.

Thoracic Cancer Surgery

Thoracic oncology surgery is used for selected cancers involving organs within the chest. Surgical treatment is based on tumour location, stage and the patient's overall health.

Robotic Cancer Surgery

Robotic cancer surgery uses advanced robotic systems to perform selected procedures through minimally invasive approaches. Dr. Tirathram Kaushik has dedicated fellowship training in Da Vinci robotic surgery.

Minimal Access Cancer Surgery

Minimal access surgery involves performing selected cancer operations through smaller incisions using laparoscopic or robotic techniques. It may support reduced postoperative discomfort and faster recovery in suitable patients.

Cytoreductive Surgery

Cytoreductive surgery is used to remove visible cancer deposits from the abdominal cavity in selected patients with peritoneal surface malignancies. It may be combined with intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

HIPEC

Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy combines cytoreductive surgery with heated chemotherapy delivered directly into the abdominal cavity. It may be considered for selected cancers that have spread to the peritoneal surface.

PIPAC

Pressurised Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy delivers chemotherapy into the abdominal cavity as a fine pressurised aerosol. It may be used for selected patients with advanced peritoneal malignancies.

Breast Cancer Surgery

Dr. Tirathram Kaushik also provides surgical management for selected breast cancers. Treatment may involve breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy depending on tumour characteristics and disease stage.

Head and Neck Cancer Surgery

Head and neck cancer surgery may be required for tumours involving areas such as the oral cavity, neck or salivary glands. Practo lists head and neck tumour surgery and parotid surgery among Dr. Kaushik's clinical services.
