Advanced Technologies in Onco-Surgery
✤We have embraced advancements in minimally invasive procedures, providing robotic and laparoscopic surgeries that provide better outcomes for patients. Our facility is equipped with the 4th Generation da Vinci Robotic System, enabling us to perform minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries. With the availability of robotic surgery, we have treated more than 150 complex cancer cases in recent times.
﷽Robotic surgery offers several key benefits that enhance clinical outcomes. It allows for fast recovery, enabling shorter hospital stays and quicker returns to daily activities. The use of smaller incisions results in minimal pain and reduced postoperative discomfort. Additionally, the precision of robotic systems minimizes damage to surrounding tissues, while also leading to less scarring, which improves cosmetic results.
🐻Robotic surgery is particularly effective for treating various tumors, including those in the prostate, kidney, bladder, and gynaecological regions.The enhanced precision provided by robotic systems allows surgeons to operate with greater accuracy to remove cancerous tissues, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues and lowering the risk of complications. Additionally, the superior visualization capabilities of robotic surgery enable surgeons to navigate complex anatomical structures more effectively, ensuring optimal outcomes.
Addressing the Burden of Cancer in India
🐎We recognize that cancer cases in India are increasing due to lifestyle changes and environmental factors. The Indian National Cancer Registry indicates that oral, breast, and cervical cancers collectively account for over 50% of all reported cancer cases in the country. Early detection has proven to be a key factor in treating cancer. We are dedicated to tackling this public health challenge through a dual approach: promoting early detection and providing effective treatment options. Our awareness campaigns focus on screening and early detection and immunization programs.
🌌By emphasizing prevention alongside treatment, we strive to reduce cancer risks within our communities and improve overall health outcomes. Through initiatives like community health programs and public awareness events, we aim to educate the public about the importance of early diagnosis in successfully treating cancer.
Continuous Improvement and Education
🅰We are dedicated to continuous improvement in cancer care through ongoing education for healthcare professionals. Our institution regularly conducts workshops and Continuing Medical Education (CME) programs to enhance the skills of our medical staff. These efforts ensure that our healthcare providers remain at the forefront of advancements in oncology, ultimately benefiting patient care.
ওWe believe that informed patients are empowered to make better decisions regarding their health. Our team provides comprehensive information about treatment options, potential side effects, and lifestyle modifications that can aid recovery. We also host support group meeting and survivor meets to help patients and their families navigate the emotional challenges associated with a cancer diagnosis. At Kauvery Cancer Institute, we are dedicated not only to treating cancer but also to supporting our patients holistically throughout their entire treatment journey.
