Pelvic and Para-aortic Lymph Node Dissection
Critical Procedure for Accurate Staging and Cancer Management
Pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection is a crucial surgical procedure in the staging and treatment of gynecological cancers. This advanced surgical technique involves the removal of lymph nodes from the pelvic and para-aortic regions to determine the spread of cancer, allowing for more accurate treatment planning and prognosis.
Dr. Buchun Mishra specializes in performing lymph node dissections using both open and minimally invasive techniques, including robotic-assisted surgery. Her extensive experience ensures that patients receive precise and effective treatment with minimized complications and faster recovery.
- Precise Lymph Node Removal
- Enhanced Accuracy in Cancer Staging
- Minimally Invasive Techniques Available
- Reduced Post-surgical Complications
- Faster Recovery Times
With this approach, Dr. Mishra aims to provide personalized cancer care by carefully evaluating the extent of disease spread, which plays a key role in deciding further treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Her commitment to patient-centered care ensures that all procedures are performed with precision and compassion.
Understanding Lymph Node Dissection
Lymph node dissection involves removing lymph nodes in specific regions to check for the presence of cancer cells. In gynecological cancers, such as uterine, cervical, and ovarian cancer, pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection helps in staging cancer and determining the appropriate treatment plan.
This procedure can be performed via traditional open surgery or using minimally invasive techniques, including robotic-assisted surgery. The choice of method depends on the patient’s overall health and the extent of the disease.
Common Indications for Lymph Node Dissection:
- Gynecological Cancers (Uterine, Cervical, Ovarian)
- Endometrial Cancer
- Staging for Metastasis
- Suspected Lymph Node Involvement
Benefits of Robotic-assisted Lymph Node Dissection:
- Greater Surgical Precision
- Enhanced 3D Visualization
- Minimized Scarring
- Quicker Recovery
- Lower Risk of Complications
With Dr. Mishra’s expertise in advanced lymph node dissection, patients receive high-quality care tailored to their specific cancer treatment needs. Her focus on utilizing the latest technology ensures improved outcomes, giving patients confidence in their cancer management journey.
