Overview
Minimally Invasive Oesophagus Cancer Surgery is an advanced oncology surgical approach to treat cancer of the oesophagus (food pipe) with smaller incisions, greater accuracy, precision, and faster recovery, causing less trauma and pain to the patient.
At Sarvodaya Hospital, the best robotic cancer surgeons in Faridabad offer both Laparoscopic and Robotic Minimally invasive esophagectomy (oesophagus cancer surgery) to treat the tumours of the oesophagus (food pipe).
Sarvodaya stands as the city’s only hospital to provide this comprehensive, minimally invasive treatment for oesophageal cancer, leveraging advanced robotic technology and laparoscopic modalities.
What is Oesophageal Cancer?
Oesophageal cancer, or the cancer of the foodpipe, develops in the inner lining of the oesophagus, the tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach. Over time, abnormal cells grow uncontrollably and may spread to nearby tissues if not treated early.
Early diagnosis through ultrasound and PET scan, and timely oesophageal cancer detection and treatment play a crucial role in improving outcomes.
Causes and Symptoms of Oesophageal Cancer
Common Causes of Foodpipe Cancer- Tobacco use (smoking or chewing)
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Chronic acid reflux (GERD)
- Obesity
- Poor dietary habits
- Family history of cancer
- Difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia)
- Unexplained weight loss
- Persistent chest discomfort or pain
- Regurgitation of food
- Chronic cough or hoarseness
If these symptoms persist, evaluation by a leading cancer specialist in Delhi NCR or a cancer doctor in Faridabad is important for early detection.
What is Minimally Invasive Oesophageal Cancer Surgery?
Minimally invasive esophagectomy is a modern surgical technique where the cancerous part of the oesophagus is removed using small incisions instead of a large open cut.
At Sarvodaya Hospital, we offer:
- Laparoscopic oesophagus cancer surgery
- Robotic minimally invasive esophagectomy
The AI-powered smart surgical robot provides high-definition 3D vision and enhanced precision, allowing surgeons to operate with greater control in delicate areas. The minimally invasive approach ensures minimal scarring, less pain and trauma to the patient.
It is hence suitable for older people as well, since recovery time is less, and no major muscles or bones need to be cut, and the patient experiences less trauma and minimal risk of infections.
Benefits of Minimally Invasive Oesophageal Cancer Surgery
Compared to traditional open surgery, minimally invasive surgery offers several benefits. These include:
- Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
- Reduced pain after surgery
- Lower risk of infection and complications
- Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay
- Early return to normal diet and daily activities
- Better precision, especially with robotic oesophageal cancer surgery
- Improved outcomes in complex cancer cases
- Suitable for older adults as well due to less trauma to the patient
