Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy is a minimally invasive technique for patients who are diagnosed with a large kidney tumor. The entire kidney and also the surrounding fat is removed by the radical nephrectomy. The doctor may recommend a laparoscopic technique for patients with metastatic disease, renal masses or any evidence of disease in the regional lymph nodes.

The laparoscopic radical nephrectomy procedure is performed under general anesthesia. This surgery is done by making 3-4 incisions and it takes 2-4 hours for the surgery to complete. Most people need to stay in the hospital for around two weeks after the procedure.

Tumor Ablation is a treatment involving the use of heating, freezing, or substances such as acetic acid or ethanol which are directed into the tumors to kill the cancer cells. It is relatively a new technique used for the treatment of cancer. A special probe called a radiofrequency electrode is inserted into the tumor with the help of a CT scanner. This is to position the probe in the center of the tumor. This probe destroys the tumor with heat.

During the procedure, using a CT scanner, a small needle-like device is inserted into the tumor through the skin. When the probe is inserted into the cancer, it is attached to a generator which burns or freezes the cancer. This procedure does not damage or destroy the normal healthy cells.

Pneumonectomy is a surgery performed to remove the entire lung. Our surgical oncology team performs the procedure to treat non-small cell lung cancer. It may also be performed to treat conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and tuberculosis. The types of pneumonectomy procedures include standard pneumonectomy and extrapleural pneumonectomy.

To perform a pneumonectomy the surgeon makes a long incision on the skin. The incision follows the curve of the ribs, from below the shoulder blade to the front of the chest. The lung is collapsed and the major blood vessels that lead to the lung are tied off. The lung is then removed. A temporary drainage tube is inserted to draw blood fluid and air out of the surgical cavity. The surgeon checks for any leakage in the blood before closing the incision.

Bowel resection is a procedure to remove the entire or a part of the infected colon along with the surrounding tissues and lymph nodes. Removal of the entire colon is called a total colectomy.

This procedure is performed under general anesthesia. During a laparoscopic bowel resection, a camera is present to guide the surgeons to the targeted site. It is a minimal invasive procedure as only small incisions are made on the skin.
