FAQs

Are there alternative treatments to cancer surgery?

In some cases, alternative treatments such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy may be used as alternatives or in combination with surgery to treat cancer.

The appropriate treatment plan will depend on the specific type and stage of cancer.

How can I prepare for cancer surgery?

Preparing for laparoscopic or bariatric surgery involves several important steps to ensure a successful outcome and minimize the risk of complications. Here are some general guidelines to help you prepare:

At Home:

  • Stop smoking: If you smoke, you should quit at least four weeks before surgery. Smoking can impair wound healing and increase the risk of infection.
  • Adjust your diet: Consume more protein and fewer carbohydrates and fats. This will help you lose weight and reduce the size of your liver, making the surgery easier to perform.
  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your surgery. Proper hydration will help your body function optimally during and after the procedure.
  • Get enough rest: Try to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night in the days leading up to your surgery. Getting enough rest is crucial for your body to heal properly after surgery.
  • Manage your medications: Inform your doctor about any medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter medications and supplements. Some medications may need to be stopped or adjusted before the surgery, specially blood thinners

 

At Hospital:

  • Pre-operative testing: Blood tests, Chest x-ray and ECG (electrocardiogram) to check your lungs and your heart’s electrical system & USG to look at the size of left lobe of liver.
  • Anaesthetic Assessment before Surgery:
  • Informed Consent for Surgery
  • Getting ready for Surgery
  1. 6 hour Fasting before surgery.
  2. Laxative to clear your colon.
  3. Shaving of Operative part to reduce the risk of infection.
