Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Senthil's super-speciality training from Tata Memorial Hospital (TMH), Mumbai, his expertise in advanced robotic surgery and oncoplastic breast surgery, and his proficiency in complex procedures like HIPEC make him one of the top and most sought-after cancer surgeons in India.

Oncoplastic surgery is an advanced technique that combines the principles of cancer surgery and plastic surgery. It allows the surgeon to remove the breast tumour while reshaping the remaining breast tissue to maintain a natural appearance, often avoiding a full mastectomy and providing an excellent cosmetic result.

SLNB is a minimally invasive procedure for early-stage breast cancer to check if cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. By removing only the first few "sentinel" nodes, it avoids the need for a full axillary dissection, significantly reducing the risk of painful arm swelling (lymphoedema).

HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) is an advanced treatment for cancers that have spread to the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum), often from ovarian, colorectal, or stomach cancer. It involves surgically removing all visible tumours, followed by circulating heated chemotherapy inside the abdomen to kill any remaining microscopic cancer cells.

Robotic surgery, performed by an expert like Dr. Senthil, offers enhanced 3D vision, greater precision, and improved dexterity. For the patient, this translates to smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and a faster return to normal activities.

You can schedule a hospital visit or an online video consultation by contacting the Cancer Rounds. The team will coordinate with Dr. Senthil's office at MIOT International to arrange an appointment for you.
