What is an Orthopaedic Oncologist?

An Orthopaedic Oncologist is a highly specialised surgeon who deals exclusively with the diagnosis and treatment of bone and soft tissue tumours (sarcomas), both benign and malignant, in adults and children. Dr. Vivek Verma is one of the few leading experts in this field in India.

What is limb preservation surgery?

Limb preservation (or limb salvage) surgery is the primary goal in modern orthopaedic oncology. It involves the complete surgical removal of a bone or soft tissue tumour without amputating the limb. The removed bone is then reconstructed using metallic implants (megaprosthesis), the patient's own bone (biological reconstruction), or bone from a donor.

Why is Dr. Vivek Verma considered a top bone cancer surgeon in India?

His super-specialist fellowship from India's top cancer centre, Tata Memorial Hospital, his international fellowship from Germany, his pioneering work in establishing dedicated ortho-oncology units, and his vast expertise in advanced limb salvage techniques like robotics and 3D-implants make him one of the best and most sought-after bone cancer surgeons in India.

What are expandable prostheses for children?

Children with bone cancer who undergo limb salvage with a standard prosthesis would require multiple surgeries to lengthen it as they grow. An expandable prosthesis is a special implant that can be lengthened non-invasively using an external electromagnetic device as the child grows, avoiding the need for repeated surgeries. Dr. Verma is an expert in this advanced technology.

Does Dr. Verma also treat benign (non-cancerous) bone tumours?

Yes, he is an expert in managing the full spectrum of musculoskeletal tumours, including benign conditions like Giant Cell Tumours, aneurysmal bone cysts, and osteoid osteomas, often using minimally invasive techniques like radiofrequency ablation or extended curettage.

How does robotic surgery help in treating bone cancer?

Robotic assistance provides the surgeon with enhanced precision and control, which is crucial when removing tumours located in complex areas like the pelvis or spine, close to vital nerves and blood vessels. This allows for a more accurate tumour removal while minimising damage to healthy structures.

What is a 3D-printed implant?

For tumours in complex anatomical locations like the pelvis, a custom implant can be designed and printed using 3D printing technology based on the patient's own CT scan. This ensures a perfect fit for reconstruction after tumour removal. Dr. Verma is a pioneer in using this technology in India.
