A few anonymised examples of the way our team plans and executes cancer surgery. Patient identities are withheld for privacy.
01Colorectal cancer
Keyhole surgery for early colon cancer
A minimally invasive resection that cleared the tumour with a short hospital stay and a quick return to normal life.
The challenge
An early-stage colon tumour where the patient was anxious about a large open operation and a long recovery away from work and family.
Our approach
The team planned a laparoscopic (keyhole) resection with complete lymph-node clearance, avoiding a large abdominal incision.
The outcome
Clear surgical margins, a hospital stay measured in days rather than weeks, and a return to routine activity far sooner than open surgery would have allowed.
02Second opinion
A second opinion that changed the plan
A review of the diagnosis and staging opened up a less invasive, organ-preserving option the family hadn't been offered.
The challenge
A patient arrived having been told extensive open surgery was the only route, and came to Agastya for a second opinion before deciding.
Our approach
The team re-reviewed the imaging and pathology and staged the disease carefully, identifying a suitable minimally invasive, organ-preserving approach.
The outcome
The patient proceeded with a smaller, targeted operation — the same oncological goal, with less trauma and a gentler recovery.
03Stomach & esophageal cancer
A coordinated plan for an upper-GI cancer
Early identification and precise laparoscopic execution kept a complex case on one continuous, well-sequenced pathway.
The challenge
A stomach cancer that needed careful sequencing and precise surgery, where delays or fragmented care could have affected the outcome.
Our approach
The oncosurgeon team worked as a single unit — from assessment through a precise laparoscopic procedure — so every step fit one plan.
The outcome
Treatment stayed on schedule, the tumour was cleared, and the patient recovered with their quality of life protected throughout.
