Our Approaches in Surgical Oncology

Surgical oncology encompasses a variety of surgical techniques tailored to treat different types of cancers. The choice of technique depends on the type and stage of cancer, as well as the patient’s overall health.

Here are the main types of approaches in surgical oncology:

1. Open Surgery

Open or traditional surgery involves larger incisions to directly access the tumor and surrounding tissue. It is used in cases where:

  • Tumors are large or complex

  • Detailed exploration is required

  • Comprehensive resections are needed

  • Emergency situations arise

2. Minimally Invasive Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery focuses on achieving effective tumor clearance through smaller incisions, ensuring faster recovery and minimal disruption to surrounding structures. Techniques include:

  • Laparoscopic Surgery

  • Thoracoscopic Surgery

  • Endoscopic Surgery

3. Advanced Robotic Surgery

Robotic-assisted surgery represents the highest level of precision in surgical oncology. Using systems such as the da Vinci Surgical System, surgeons operate with enhanced dexterity, 3D visualization, and superior control.

Benefits include:

  • Greater surgical precision

  • Reduced trauma and blood loss

  • Faster recovery and shorter hospital stays

  • Early mobilization of patients
