Rajalakshmi Medical College’s Oncology Department Achieves Milestone with Advanced Minimally Invasive Surgery for Stomach Cancer
Rajalakshmi Medical College Hospital and Research Institute (RMCHRI) has successfully performed a complex, minimally invasive surgery for advanced stomach cancer in a post chemotherapy patient, marking a significant step forward in its commitment to delivering cutting-edge cancer care.
Gastric cancer remains one of the more aggressive
malignancies, often requiring a multidisciplinary treatment approach that
integrates chemotherapy with surgical intervention for optimal outcomes. The
team performed a total gastrectomy with lymph node dissection and
reconstruction, a technically demanding procedure traditionally carried out
through open surgery.
Dr. Haree Shankar Meganathan, Vice chairman of Rajalakshmi Group, stated:
"This procedure is a testament to our focus on accessible healthcare to all while adopting evidence-based surgical techniques that improve patient outcomes and recovery."
