Preventive Surgery
Precision Prevention: Fortifying Health with Preventive Surgery
At Universal Hospital, we recognize the critical role of preventive measures in the fight against cancer. Our Preventive Surgery Department is dedicated to offering proactive surgical interventions for individuals at high risk of developing certain types of cancer. These procedures aim to reduce the risk of cancer or detect it at an early stage when treatment is most effective.
Our Preventive Surgery Services Include:
Prophylactic Mastectomy:
For individuals at high risk of breast cancer, we offer prophylactic mastectomy, a surgical procedure aimed at removing one or both breasts to significantly reduce the risk of developing breast cancer.
Prophylactic Oophorectomy:
In cases where there is an elevated risk of ovarian cancer, our skilled surgeons perform prophylactic oophorectomy, the removal of one or both ovaries to reduce the risk of ovarian and breast cancers.
Prophylactic Hysterectomy:
For those with a high risk of uterine or ovarian cancer, we provide prophylactic hysterectomy, removing the uterus and sometimes the ovaries, offering a preventive measure against these types of cancers.
Colon Resection for Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP):
Our specialized colorectal surgeons perform colon resection for individuals with FAP, a hereditary condition that leads to the development of numerous polyps in the colon, significantly increasing the risk of colorectal cancer.
Genetic Counseling and Testing:
We offer comprehensive genetic counseling services to assess your risk factors for hereditary cancers. Our team provides guidance on genetic testing, interpreting results, and developing personalized preventive plans.
Advanced Imaging and Screening:
Utilizing state-of-the-art imaging technologies, we provide thorough screening services to detect early signs of cancer. This includes mammograms, MRIs, CT scans, and other imaging modalities tailored to your specific needs.
Minimally Invasive Techniques:
Where possible, we employ minimally invasive surgical techniques to ensure quicker recovery times, reduced discomfort, and minimal scarring.
