Surgery is used to help cancer patients in a variety of ways. It is the oldest cancer treatment method. It offers the best possibility of preventing many types of cancer and assisting in diagnosing, staging, and treating cancer.
Every patient’s experience with cancer surgery is unique, based on the type of surgery, the type of cancer, and the patient’s overall condition. Open surgery is a major medical procedure with life-changing side effects. On the other hand, laparoscopic surgery is quick and has minor side effects.
Laparoscopy cancer surgery is also known as Minimal Access Cancer Surgery (MACS). It is a specialized technique for performing cancer surgery. This procedure can be safely performed on patients of different ages.
Laparoscopic cancer surgery is getting more and more popular as a method of undergoing surgical oncology. Dr. Sandeep Nayak, one of the best surgical oncologist in India, deserves credit for this and his team of best oncologist in Bangalore.
Because of his and his teams efforts and hard work, people became aware of this advanced technique for cancer treatment in India.
Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery
Minimally Invasive and Painless Treatment
Because the surgery is minimally intrusive, it is also less painful. Post-surgery, patients are not in excruciating discomfort. In comparison to traditional surgery, patients are discharged from the hospital sooner.
Minor Scars and Less Blood Loss
Post-surgery, the patient’s body is left with tiny scars. Only a few minor incisions are required for the procedure, reducing the danger of blood loss and the requirement for blood transfusions. When compared to standard surgery, there is less internal scarring.
Short Hospital Stay
In the case of laparoscopic surgery, a patient can return to their routine in 2 to 3 weeks. It is entirely safe and highly suggested for persons who are constantly on the move. It is an excellent technique to save money on hospitalization costs because the patient is discharged within 2-3 days.
Reduced Risk of Infections
Because of the small incisions, there is a low risk of infection in the surgical area. Patients, on the other hand, must take precautions.
Faster Recovery
Laparoscopic surgery allows for a quicker recovery. Traditional surgery patients might need 4 to 8 weeks for a full recovery. More and more people are choosing the laparoscopic surgery method as the benefits are much more than the conventional open cancer surgery.
Dr. Sandeep Nayak- Pioneer In Laparoscopic Cancer Surgery
Dr. Sandeep Nayak, one of the best surgical oncologist in India, is well-versed in both surgery methods, open surgery or laparoscopic and robotic cancer surgery.
But as of now, his area of interest lies in eliminating tumors using the laparoscopic and robotic method of surgery as it is more beneficial to cancer patients.
Furthermore, he strongly feels that his fellow surgeons should acknowledge and opt for this surgery method as it is a safer and more effective cancer treatment option.
Hence, on his part, he always makes it a point to spread awareness about the benefits of laparoscopic and robotic cancer surgery. And that’s not all; he imparts his knowledge to the medical students and makes several videos on these advanced treatment options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Laparoscopy and robotic cancer surgery are also known as Minimal Access Surgery (MACS). This minimally invasive surgery is performed generally for early stages of cancer. In this surgery, the surgeon inserts an instrument called as laparoscopy. The laparoscopic instrument is inserted inside the body by making small incision as compared to open surgery where big cuts are made. A camera is attached to the laparoscopy instrument, which enables the surgeon to get clear images of the organ which is located deep inside the body. The images are shown on the monitor outside.
Robotic cancer surgery is a surgery performed with the help of “Da Vinci” robot. Robotic cancer surgery is a minimal invasive surgery. In this type of surgery, the surgeon sits in front of the monitor which helps in showing HD images of the internal organs. The surgeon performs the surgery with help of robot assisted arms which is inserted into the body by making small incision. Robot assisted cancer surgery helps in carrying out complex surgery with precision and accuracy.
Both laparoscopy and robotic are minimal invasive surgery. Both the surgery is the most modern surgical process for cancer surgery. In laparoscopy surgery, the surgeon performs the surgery by using rigid laparoscopy instrument which has an endoscopic camera which shows the images of the internal organs. The surgeons hand functions in the opposite direction of the instrument. In case of the Da Vinci” robotic cancer surgery, the surgeon sits in front of the console which helps to view the high definition images of the target organ. The robot’s arms move in the direction of the surgeon’s hands, wrist, and finger movements made at the console.
There are many benefits associated with laparoscopy and robotic surgery related to the patient during and post-surgery. The major benefits of laparoscopy and robotic surgery compared to traditional open cancer surgery are –
- Reduced pain and discomfort
- Less blood loss and the need for blood transfusion
- Few complications post-surgical process
- The hospital stays will be reduced
- Less risk of infection
- Faster recovery and return to normal life.
