Shalby Hospital offers organ specific treatment and brings together all of the surgical units under one roof:

Unit of Minimally Invasive Surgery/ Keyhole Surgery:

Over the past two decades, the range of abdominal surgical procedures that can be performed with minimally invasive (or laparoscopic) techniques has expanded enormously. Now, a growing amount of cancer surgery can also be carried out safely, quickly, and efficiently through a number of small incisions. Shalby Hospital’s oncology team applies these cutting edge techniques while never compromising the principles of cancer surgery.

Minimally Invasive Surgery/ Keyhole Surgery Unit at Shalby Hospital offers minimally invasive surgery for cancer of the esophagus, uterus, stomach, liver, pancreas, colon and rectum, and peritoneal malignancies. There are a number of advantages to the patient with laparoscopic surgery versus the more common, open procedure. Pain and blood loss are reduced due to smaller incisions, recovery times are shorter, quicker return to normal activities and less damage to surrounding healthy tissue are some of the advantages.

The key element in laparoscopic surgery is the use of a laparoscope, a long fiber optic cable system which allows viewing of the affected area by snaking the cable from a more distant, but more easily accessible location.

  • Bone cysts
  • Giant cell tumors
  • Nerve sheath tumors

Why Shalby is the best?

Individuals with bone and soft tissue tumors have several treatment choices depending on the type of cancer and extent of the disease, including chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

The goal of any surgery is to completely remove the tumor while preserving and maximizing extremity mobility and function. In more than 90 percent of cases, we are able to avoid amputation because of our extensive experience in innovative limb salvage techniques.

Specific surgical procedures used in reconstructing a limb after tumor removal includes:

  • Metallic endoprosthetic (artificial device) bone and joint reconstruction
  • Large fragment allograft tissue reconstruction
  • Vascularized fibular graft reconstruction

Expandable endoprosthetic implants are available for growing children or adolescent patient. In the event that amputation is required to control a tumor, we have the skill and experience to perform these procedures safely and effectively, including technically demanding amputations around the limb girdles, such as hemi -pelvectomy (removal of one leg and half of the pelvis) and forequarter (arm and shoulder) amputations.

Rehabilitation starts soon after treatment, once a patient is surgically and medically stable. Inpatient rehabilitation focuses on teaching patients how to move and function safely with reconstructed limbs and continue on an outpatient basis.

Multidisciplinary Team Approach

Our Surgical cancer experts evaluate and treat all types and stages of head and neck cancers, from early lesions to the rarest and most challenging cases. Depending on the type of treatment, our treating team may include Head and neck surgeons, Breast Cancer Surgeons, Gynae-oncology Surgeons, Gastrointestinal Surgeons, Uro-oncology Surgeons, Bone and Soft Tissue Surgeons, Neuro Surgeons, Laparoscopic Surgeons, Medical and Radiation oncologist, Dentist or Maxillofacial Surgeon, Reconstructive Surgeon, Nutritionists, social worker and speech, voice, and swallowing therapists.

Our trained and skilled Surgical Oncologist of India plays the major role while selecting the operable cases, performing a complete surgery by removing the cancerous body part which has clear margins and removing all the lymph nodes. During surgery dissected specimen is sent for a frozen section to the Oncopathologist for immediate report on the margins. If the margins of the dissected body part are not free from cancer, further dissection is carried out to achieve clear margins to prevent recurrences. The quality of the surgery determines the postoperative quality of the life of the patient.
