GYNAECOLOGICAL CANCER

---

Gynaecologic cancers require meticulous surgical staging and tumour removal for optimal outcomes. We offer comprehensive surgical care for cancers affecting the female reproductive system. 

• Ovarian cancer
• Endometrial (uterine) cancer
• Cervical cancer
• Vulvar cancer
• Vaginal cancer

Ovarian cancer often requires extensive surgical staging and cytoreduction.

Procedures Include:

• Total abdominal hysterectomy
• Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy
• Omentectomy
• Peritoneal biopsies
• Lymph node sampling
• Cytoreductive (debulking) surgery

Goal: Achieve optimal cytoreduction (no visible residual disease), which significantly improves survival outcomes.

In advanced cases, interval debulking after neoadjuvant chemotherapy may be advised. 

Standard treatment typically includes:

• Total hysterectomy
• Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy
• Sentinel lymph node mapping or      lymphadenectomy

Minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic approaches are used whenever appropriate to ensure:

• Faster recovery
• Reduced blood loss

Shorter hospital stay! 

Treatment depends on stage and fertility considerations.

Options Include:

• Radical hysterectomy
• Pelvic lymph node dissection
• Fertility-preserving radical      trachelectomy (in select early-stage patients)

Early-stage disease may be managed surgically, while advanced stages often require combined chemoradiation. 

For young patients wishing to preserve fertility, carefully selected procedures may include:

• Radical trachelectomy (cervical      cancer)
• Unilateral oophorectomy (early      ovarian tumours)
• Ovarian transposition prior to      radiation

Each case is evaluated thoroughly to balance oncologic safety with reproductive goals. 

Whenever feasible, laparoscopic or robotic-assisted techniques are utilized to provide:

• Smaller incisions
• Less post-operative pain
• Faster return to daily activities
• Reduced hospital stay

Improved cosmetic outcomes.
