Advanced surgical procedures

These techniques use small incisions and tools, such as a hepatic pump, laparoscope or endoscope, to remove tumors with less trauma, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery.

Surgeons use robotic platforms like the da Vinci® Xi system for enhanced precision, improved visualization, and better preservation of surrounding structures, especially in prostate, colorectal and gynecologic surgeries.

In some cases, a traditional open approach provides the safest or most effective option, particularly for large or complex tumors that require full visibility and access.

After surgical removal of visible tumors, chemotherapy is delivered directly to the abdominal cavity — HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy) uses a heated solution, while PIPAC (pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy) delivers it as a pressurized aerosol to target microscopic cancer cells.

Used for advanced skin or soft tissue cancers in a limb, this procedure delivers high-dose chemotherapy directly to the affected arm or leg while sparing the rest of the body.

This minimally invasive, nonthermal technique uses electrical pulses to destroy tumors while avoiding damage to nearby blood vessels or sensitive structures — ideal for tumors in difficult locations.
