Staging Surgery

Mapping the Future of Health: Staging Surgery for Cancer's Defeat

At Universal Hospital, our Staging Surgery Department specializes in performing staging procedures to accurately determine the stage of cancer. Staging surgery helps guide oncologists in tailoring treatment strategies and provides valuable information for prognosis.

Our Staging Surgery Services Include:

Lymph Node Dissection:

We perform meticulous lymph node dissection surgeries to determine whether cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. This information is critical for staging and guiding further treatment decisions.

Thoracotomy and Mediastinotomy:

Specialized procedures for staging lung and esophageal cancers involve the exploration and assessment of the chest and mediastinum to identify the extent of the disease.

Exploratory Laparotomy:

In cases where abdominal organs are involved, our surgeons may perform exploratory laparotomy to examine and stage cancers in the abdominal cavity, such as ovarian, pancreatic, or colorectal cancers.

Pelvic Exenteration:

For certain gynecologic and colorectal cancers, pelvic exenteration may be recommended to remove affected organs and tissues in the pelvic region, aiding in accurate staging and treatment planning.

Prostatectomy and Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection:

Surgical procedures for staging prostate cancer, including prostatectomy to remove the prostate gland and pelvic lymph node dissection to assess the spread of cancer.

Head and Neck Dissection:

Surgical interventions to examine and remove lymph nodes in the neck region, are crucial for staging head and neck cancers.
