Palliative Surgery
Beyond Treatment, Towards Comfort: Palliative Surgery's Impact
Universal Hospital recognizes the importance of providing compassionate and comprehensive care for individuals facing advanced stages of cancer. Palliative surgery plays a crucial role in managing symptoms, enhancing quality of life, and providing comfort to patients and their families. Our Palliative Surgery Department is committed to addressing the unique needs of individuals with advanced cancer through thoughtful and patient-centered interventions.
Our Palliative Surgery Services Include:
Tumor Debulking:
Palliative tumor debulking surgeries aim to reduce the size of tumors that may be causing discomfort or interfering with the normal function of organs. This can help alleviate symptoms and improve the patient’s quality of life.
Pleurodesis and Thoracentesis:
Palliative procedures for managing symptoms related to pleural effusion, such as thoracentesis to drain excess fluid and pleurodesis to prevent fluid accumulation.
Gastrointestinal Bypass or Stenting:
Surgical interventions to relieve symptoms of gastrointestinal obstruction or blockages caused by cancer. This may involve creating a bypass or placing stents to facilitate the passage of food.
Palliative Reconstructive Surgery:
Reconstructive procedures to improve physical function and appearance in cases where cancer has affected the face, limbs, or other areas. These surgeries aim to enhance the patient’s comfort and dignity.
Surgical Interventions for Symptomatic Relief:
Procedures to address specific symptoms, such as pain management through nerve block procedures or the removal of painful masses.
Peritoneal Catheter Placement:
Palliative surgeries to place peritoneal catheters for the drainage of ascites, providing relief from abdominal swelling and discomfort.
