Cancer surgery can vary depending on the type of cancer and its progression. Understanding the different types of surgical procedures can help patients feel more prepared and informed.

At Lilavati Hospital, surgeons perform a wide range of procedures, including tumor removal, lymph node dissection, and reconstructive surgeries.

Curative surgery aims to remove the entire tumor when the cancer is localized. Debulking surgery reduces the size of the tumor when complete removal is not possible. Preventive surgery may be recommended in high-risk individuals to reduce the chances of developing cancer.

Before surgery, patients undergo thorough evaluation to ensure safety and effectiveness. Post-surgery, recovery plans are designed to support healing and prevent complications.

Knowing what to expect helps reduce anxiety and ensures a smoother treatment journey.
