Our Uniqueness
Minimal Access Cancer Surgery
In Minimal Access Surgery, rather than making big incisions and entering the patient’s body cavity, a surgeon makes small holes of 0.5 to 1 cm in the patient’s abdomen or thorax, and then introduces a miniature telescope which shows magnified vision and further uses a stick-like instrument to perform the task. This procedure is known as a laparoscopy or a thoracoscopy. Depending on the organs that are being removed, the surgery is called thoracoscopic esophagectomy, laparoscopic colectomy and so on.
The benefits of this minimally invasive approach are both short term and long term. Immediate benefits are less postoperative pain, less requirement of analgesics, early ambulation of the patient, early bowel function, less risk of infection, and quicker recovery time. Long-term benefits include a lower risk of an incision hernia and no restriction in your day to day activities.

My mother was diagnosed with cancer cervix 3 years back . My entire family was under tention. Then we came to know about Dr sumit Shah. We consulted him, he advice MRI and other investigations. He told us she doesn't need surgery and will need radiation and few chemotherapy injections. We were insistent about surgery but he convinced us that surgery is not the treatment for this stage of disease. My mother completed treatment and now its 3 years complete. My mother is absolutely fine doing all her activities. We are on regular follow up with dr Shah. Thank you dr shah

Friends, it is always better to prevent by taking medical care instead of curing the diseases . when the body suffer by it. I did the same think when I observed that I am finding little difficulty while opening mouth in a large way so I went to general surgeon for consultation, he found white patch inside left cheak . A peace of which was then sent to laboratory examination where their results indicated some doubt so it was again consulted with oncologists Dr. Sumit Shah... and then it was operated by laser and it was called as leucoplakia...the operation was complicated within 15 min...this war due to my habbit of chewing tobbaco for last 55 years....but some times at these stage also honestly feel..that enjoying tobbaco chewing for 55 years is very is not bad against operation in 15 min....so friends it is up to everyone choice to decide what to do..lastly oncologists Dr sumit shah hospital in pune at seven love chowk is a nice hospital for its hospitality
