Selected Cancer Surgery in Lucknow
Dr. Devashish Sharma — General & Laparoscopic Surgeon
What is it?
Selected surgical care may be provided for breast, thyroid, gallbladder, skin and soft-tissue cancers and selected gynaecological malignancies as clinically appropriate.
When should you seek surgical consultation?
Surgery is considered after clinical assessment of symptoms, examination findings, imaging, laboratory tests and available alternatives. The decision should be individualized; not every patient with a similar diagnosis requires the same treatment.
What happens during the procedure?
The exact technique, anaesthesia, incision, instruments and recovery plan depend on your diagnosis, anatomy, medical condition and the surgical approach considered appropriate. The procedure, benefits, alternatives and important risks should be discussed individually before surgery.
What if treatment is delayed or skipped?
Cancer treatment should not be delayed unnecessarily; timing and treatment planning depend on stage, pathology and multidisciplinary assessment.
After surgery or treatment
Recovery varies with the procedure and the individual. You will receive guidance about pain control, wound care, activity, diet, follow-up and warning symptoms. Contact your treating team if you develop concerning symptoms.
