Shalby Hospital, Jaipur

Oncology at Shalby Hospital, Jaipur, provides medical, surgical, and radiation treatment under a single team. The in-house Radiotherapy Centre operates the Varian Trilogy machine with FFF (Flattening Filter-Free) technology, the first installation of this type in Jaipur. FFF removes the beam-flattening filter from the linear accelerator. The result is higher dose rates, shorter sessions, and greater precision for stereotactic cases such as brain metastases or spinal tumours. The oncology team – medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists – reviews complex cases together rather than in separate silos.

Conditions Treated: Breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, head and neck cancers, gastric cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, blood cancers (leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma), bone and soft tissue tumours, thyroid cancer, kidney cancer

The Jaipur branch does more joint replacements than any other standalone orthopaedic centre in Rajasthan, over 3,000 a year. Primary and revision replacements, arthroscopy, sports medicine, and complex spine surgery all sit within the department. One fact worth knowing: Shalby is the only vertically integrated orthopaedic hospital chain in India. The Group acquired knee and hip implant manufacturing assets from Consensus Orthopedics in California, which means the implants used here are designed and manufactured within the same organisation rather than sourced from a third-party supplier.

Conditions Treated:

Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, fractures and polytrauma, sports injuries (ACL, meniscus, rotator cuff), degenerative spine disease, scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, bone tumours, hip dysplasia

Treatment Options:

• Total knee replacement (TKR) and total hip replacement (THR) – primary and revision
• Partial knee replacement and unicompartmental arthroplasty
• Shoulder and ankle joint replacement
• Arthroscopy – knee, shoulder, hip
• ACL reconstruction and sports injury procedures
• Minimally invasive spine surgery and disc replacement
• Fracture fixation and polytrauma management
• Limb-sparing surgery for bone tumours (with oncology team)

Orthopedics Department Highlights:

• Largest standalone joint replacement centre in Rajasthan -3,000+ surgeries per year
• Hospital-owned implants manufactured to international standards – no third-party supplier dependency
• Shalby Orthopaedics Centre of Excellence (SOCE) model for specialist outreach

The cardiology team at Shalby Jaipur handles diagnostic workup, catheter-based interventions, and surgical cardiac cases. The Cath Lab uses Fractional Flow Rate (FFR) measurement – a pressure wire test performed during angiography that tells the team whether a coronary narrowing is actually causing reduced blood flow, thereby reducing unnecessary stenting. The department also offers External Counterpulsation (ECP), a non-invasive treatment for patients with persistent chest pain or heart failure who are not candidates for further surgery. Very few hospitals in Rajasthan have ECP.

Conditions Treated:

Coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, valvular heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, congenital heart defects, aortic disease, cardiomyopathy

Treatment Options:

• Coronary angiography and angioplasty (PTCA/stenting)
• FFR-guided intervention – pressure wire assessment during angiography
• External Counterpulsation (ECP) for refractory angina and heart failure
• Pacemaker implantation and cardiac rhythm management
• Echocardiography, stress testing, Holter monitoring
• CT coronary angiography (128-slice dual source CT)
• Cardiothoracic surgery -bypass grafting (CABG), valve repair and replacement

Cardiology & Cardiothracic surgery Department Highlights:

• Cath Lab with FFR – reduces unnecessary stenting through objective lesion assessment
• ECP -available for refractory cardiac failure; rare in Rajasthan outside a tertiary centre
• Cardiac OT and cardiac ICU support within the same facility

The gastroenterology department covers the digestive tract, liver, pancreas, and biliary system. Medical and surgical gastroenterology are both available, with endoscopy, colonoscopy, and ERCP done in-house. Bariatric surgery for obesity and metabolic disease, including sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass, is part of the department’s regular programme.

The Women and Child Health department handles high-risk child births, routine deliveries, and gynaecological surgery. The NICU supports premature and critically ill newborns, and the paediatric team manages neonatal surgical coordination for congenital anomalies. High-risk referrals from smaller facilities across Rajasthan come here for specialised obstetric management.

The Varian Trilogy with FFF technology is the biggest clinical addition at the Jaipur branch. Before this, patients in Jaipur needing SBRT – for brain metastases, early-stage lung cancer, spinal lesions – had no local option. They travelled to Delhi or Ahmedabad, often midway through treatment. That changed with the Trilogy installation. The FFF mode produces higher dose rates than standard linacs, which cuts session time and improves precision in stereotactic work. It is not the same as a standard radiotherapy machine.

The bariatric surgery programme now offers sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass as short-stay procedures, with most patients discharged within 2-3 days. The revision joint replacement programme has been expanded to handle cases where implants placed at other hospitals have failed, such as loosened, infected, or misaligned hardware. These are harder operations than primary replacements and require a different surgical skill set. The 128-slice dual-source CT was added for cardiac and trauma imaging – it scans faster and at a lower radiation dose than older single-source scanners.

Cardiology in Shalby Hospital, Jaipur, orthopaedic surgery, and cancer treatment – the booking process through Cancer Rounds is the same for all of them. The Shalby Hospital treatment price list for common procedures is available from a Cancer Rounds coordinator on request.

The most consistent thread in Shalby Hospital Jaipur reviews is the orthopaedics department. Patients travel specifically for knee and hip replacements, often after getting quotes or second opinions elsewhere, and the feedback on surgical outcomes and post-operative recovery is largely positive. The fact that the implants are hospital-owned (not purchased from a third-party supplier) is mentioned surprisingly often, usually because the surgeon explained the difference during the consultation.

On the cancer side, the Varian Trilogy installation comes up often, usually with relief rather than excitement. Patients note that not having to travel mid-treatment is a practical advantage they hadn’t expected. The cardiac department’s emergency response is referenced in several accounts from patients who arrived as acute admissions off the expressway.

OPD waiting times are a recurring complaint. The hospital handles high footfall, and the volume shows. The cleanliness of the wards and the ICU nursing team both draw praise. Administrative turnaround – billing, discharge paperwork gets mixed marks. The clinical outcomes are broadly well-rated; the support systems around them have room to catch up.
