Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) originates in the kidneys and is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults. Surgical treatment remains the gold standard for localized RCC, with two primary options: Radical Nephrectomy and Nephron-Sparing Surgery (NSS).
Under the expertise of Dr. Dharma Kumar K.G., radical nephrectomy involves the complete removal of the affected kidney, along with the surrounding fatty tissue and, in some cases, the adrenal gland and regional lymph nodes. Dr. Dharma’s proficiency in both open and laparoscopic approaches ensures that patients benefit from minimally invasive techniques, reducing recovery time and postoperative discomfort.
NSS, also known as partial nephrectomy, is performed to excise only the tumor while preserving as much healthy kidney tissue as possible. Dr. Dharma’s meticulous approach to NSS allows for effective tumor removal with the added advantage of maintaining renal function, which is particularly crucial for patients with pre-existing kidney conditions.
In cases where Renal Cell Carcinoma extends into the inferior vena cava (IVC), a Radical Nephrectomy with IVC Thrombectomy is indicated. This complex procedure requires exceptional surgical skill, which Dr. Dharma Kumar K.G. brings to the operating room. His experience with both open and minimally invasive techniques ensures that tumor thrombus is removed effectively with minimized complications.
Bladder cancer that invades the muscle layer often necessitates a Radical Cystectomy, which involves removing the entire bladder and nearby lymph nodes. For male patients, the prostate may also be removed, while female patients may require the removal of the uterus and part of the vaginal wall.
Following bladder removal, an Ileal Conduit is created to reroute urine. Dr. Dharma’s expertise in constructing ileal conduits ensures that patients experience a smooth postoperative recovery and improved quality of life. His focus on precision and technique minimizes the risk of complications, allowing for effective urinary diversion with optimal functional outcomes.
Testicular cancer is highly curable, especially when detected early. The primary surgical treatment involves a High Inguinal Orchiectomy (HIO). Dr. Dharma Kumar K.G. employs advanced techniques to ensure complete removal of the affected testicle with minimal risk of cancer spread.
For certain types of testicular cancer, particularly non-seminomas, an RPLND is performed to remove lymph nodes in the retroperitoneum. Dr. Dharma’s skill in minimally invasive RPLND techniques minimizes postoperative pain and accelerates recovery, providing patients with the best possible surgical outcomes.
Prostate cancer is among the most common malignancies in men, and surgical management is a cornerstone of treatment for localized cases.
Dr. Dharma Kumar K.G. specializes in Radical Prostatectomy, offering both open and robotic-assisted laparoscopic techniques. His expertise in nerve-sparing procedures is particularly valuable in preserving urinary continence and sexual function, which are critical quality-of-life considerations for patients.
For patients with advanced prostate cancer, a Bilateral Scrotal Orchiectomy may be recommended to reduce testosterone levels and slow cancer progression. Dr. Dharma’s precise surgical technique and comprehensive postoperative care ensure that patients experience a smooth recovery with minimal complications.
Timely diagnosis significantly enhances the effectiveness of urological cancer treatments. Symptoms such as blood in urine, pelvic pain, frequent urination, or testicular lumps should not be ignored. Dr. Dharma Kumar K.G. emphasizes the importance of routine screenings and early intervention to improve survival rates and outcomes. We offer comprehensive diagnostic services, including imaging studies, biopsies, and advanced blood tests, to confirm the presence of cancer and determine its stage.
