Onco Surgery

“Onco Surgery”

Onco Surgery, short for Oncologic Surgery or Oncological Surgery, refers to the surgical aspect of cancer treatment. It involves the removal of tumors or cancerous tissues from the body with the aim of curing or controlling the spread of cancer. Onco surgeons are specialized surgeons who have expertise in performing surgical procedures to treat various types of cancer.

Onco Surgery encompasses a wide range of surgical procedures, including tumor resection (removal), lymph node dissection, mastectomy (breast removal), lumpectomy (breast-conserving surgery), prostatectomy (prostate removal), colectomy (colon removal), gastrectomy (stomach removal), hysterectomy (uterus removal), and many others depending on the type and location of cancer.

Onco surgeons employ various surgical techniques to remove cancerous tissues while preserving healthy surrounding tissues and organs. Minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery are often used when appropriate, as they can result in smaller incisions, less postoperative pain, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.
