Surgical approach
लैप्रोस्कोपिक और न्यूनतम चीरे वाली कैंसर सर्जरी
01Overview
- Advanced laparoscopic cancer surgery
- Minimally invasive cancer surgery
In laparoscopic or keyhole surgery, a few small cuts are made. A thin camera and fine tools are passed through them. The surgeon works while watching a screen.
It can be an option for some cancers. The first aim of cancer surgery is always to remove the disease safely and fully. So open surgery is sometimes the better choice.
02What it involves
Laparoscopic & minimally invasive cancer surgery in Bikaner:
the method in plain words.
- 01
How it works
Gas is used to gently lift the belly wall. This gives room to see and work through small cuts.
- 02
Where it may be used
It is used, where suitable, for some bowel, stomach, urological and gynaecological cancers.
- 03
Possible advantages
Smaller cuts may mean less wound pain and an easier recovery for some patients. But this differs from case to case.
- 04
Converting to open surgery
During the operation, the surgeon may find that keyhole is not safe. Then it may be changed to open surgery. This is a safety decision and is explained beforehand.

Not suitable for everyone
Large or advanced tumours, earlier operations and some health conditions may make open surgery the safer choice.
