Frequently Asked Questions

There are risks that go with any type of medical procedure and surgery is no longer an exception. The success of surgery depends upon 3 factors: the type of disease/surgery, the experience of the surgeon and the overall health of patients. What’s important is whether the expected benefits outweigh the possible risks.

As with any surgery, there are risks and potential complications associated with cancer surgery.

These can include bleeding, infection, blockage or leakage for new joint (anastomosis) of the intestine, damage to surrounding structures, blood clots, and potential side effects specific to the type of surgery performed.

All cancer surgeries of Liver, Pancreas & other digestive organs are performed under general anaesthesia, which means you will be unconscious and pain-free during the procedure. The anaesthesia ensures your comfort and safety during the surgery.

There are different types of cancer surgeries depending on the type of organ, type of cancer and stage of cancer. Some common types include:

• Curative surgery: Removes the entire tumour and surrounding tissues. This surgery is always aimed when tumour is in the early stage and easily and completely removable.
• Palliative surgery: Relieves symptoms or improves quality of life, but does not aim to cure the cancer. This is being done when tumour is little bit advanced & removal of such tumour can endanger to the life of patient during surgery. In such cases, the aim of treatment is to relieve the symptoms of patient so that her/his quality of life improves after surgery.
• Prophylactic surgery: Removes noncancerous tissues that have a high risk of developing cancer.

The specific cancer surgery plan is determined by various factors, including the type and stage of cancer, the location of the tumour, the overall health of the patient, and the expertise of the surgical team. The plan is typically individualized to each patient’s needs.

Cancer surgery is a type of treatment that involves the removal of cancerous
tumour or tissues from the body. It aims to eliminate or reduce the spread of cancer
cells and is often performed in conjunction with other cancer treatments like
chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

When treatment ends, you may expect life to return to the way it was before you were diagnosed with cancer. But it can take time to recover. You may have permanent scars on your body, or you may not be able to do some things you once did easily. Or you may even have emotional scars from going through so much.
