Dr. Bhavsar and his team ensure thorough preparation before peritoneal cancer surgery:
Comprehensive post-operative care is crucial for peritoneal cancer surgery success. Dr. Bhavsar's team provides:
Cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC significantly improves survival for selected patients. In Dr. Bhavsar's experience, 5-year survival rates exceed 60% for patients with complete cytoreduction. Success depends on cancer type, extent of spread, and patient's overall health.
While basic cancer surgery is available in Rajkot, advanced peritoneal cancer surgery with HIPEC requires specialized expertise and equipment available at Gastroplus Hospital, Ahmedabad. Dr. Bhavsar is one of the few surgeons in Gujarat performing this complex procedure with excellent outcomes.
Typical treatment requires 2-3 weeks in Ahmedabad: 1 week for pre-operative preparation, surgery day, and 7-14 days for recovery before safe travel back to Rajkot. Dr. Bhavsar coordinates with local doctors for continued care at home.
Major surgery carries risks including bleeding, infection, organ injury, and anesthesia complications. HIPEC adds risks of chemical toxicity. However, Dr. Bhavsar's experience and Gastroplus Hospital's facilities minimize these risks. Most patients recover well with appropriate selection and preparation.
Robotic surgery is beneficial for selected cases with limited disease. Dr. Bhavsar, being da Vinci certified, can perform robotic cytoreduction for early peritoneal cancers. Extensive disease may require open surgery for complete cancer removal.
Most major insurance companies cover peritoneal cancer surgery including HIPEC as it's recognized cancer treatment. Gastroplus Hospital has cashless arrangements with major insurers. Our insurance team helps with pre-authorization and claim processing.
Bring all previous reports (CT scans, biopsy reports, blood tests), insurance documents, and list of current medications. You can also share reports via WhatsApp (+91) 98982 69932 for preliminary review before traveling to Ahmedabad.
