Gynecological Cancer Surgeries
Gynecological cancers, including cancers of the ovaries, uterus, cervix, vulva, and fallopian tubes, require specialized surgical treatment to ensure the best possible outcomes. These cancers often present unique challenges, as surgery must balance effective cancer removal with the preservation of reproductive and hormonal functions. Dr. Radha Raman Mondal, Consultant Surgical Oncologist at NH Narayana Hospital, offers expert surgical management for gynecological cancers, providing comprehensive care that prioritizes both oncological success and patient quality of life.
Dr. Mondal specializes in minimally invasive gynecological cancer surgeries using laparoscopy and robotic-assisted techniques, which offer several advantages over traditional surgery, such as smaller incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery. For patients with early-stage ovarian, uterine, or cervical cancers, these techniques can be particularly beneficial, enabling precise tumor removal with minimal disruption to the surrounding organs.
For more advanced cases, Dr. Mondal performs radical surgeries, such as hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), salpingo-oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes), and pelvic lymph node dissection, depending on the type and stage of cancer. In some instances, pelvic exenteration—a more extensive procedure involving the removal of the bladder, rectum, and reproductive organs—may be necessary for advanced cancers.
Dr. Mondal places a strong emphasis on fertility preservation when treating younger women with gynecological cancers. In select cases, he employs fertility-sparing surgeries to remove the cancer while retaining the uterus or ovaries, allowing the possibility for future pregnancies. His multidisciplinary approach ensures that all aspects of the patient’s health, from cancer management to reproductive health, are carefully considered.
Cervical cancer, often detected early through Pap smears or HPV testing, can be treated with procedures such as conization, where a portion of the cervix is removed, or more extensive surgeries like radical trachelectomy or radical hysterectomy, depending on the stage of cancer.
Dr. Mondal’s experience extends beyond surgery. He works closely with medical oncologists and radiation therapists to design comprehensive treatment plans, incorporating chemotherapy or radiation therapy as needed to achieve the best possible outcomes for each patient.
With over 9 years of experience, a gold-medal academic record, and active memberships in prestigious medical societies such as the Indian Association of Surgical Oncology (IASO) and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), Dr. Radha Raman Mondal combines the latest surgical advancements with compassionate care to help women navigate the challenges of gynecological cancers.
