Oncosurgical innovations:

• We have performed a new approach – Abdomino inguinal approach , for pelvic side wall tumors, which increases the resectability and cure rate for the patients; this new technique was presented in the Annual ASI Conference 2011, and received ‘Best Scientific Paper Award”.
• In March 2012 we have done a new method of minimally invasive cancer surgery (Endoscopic Ilioinguinal block dissection) for a patient with cancer penis; advantage of this newer technique is lesser complication and faster recovery. We have performed this new innovative surgery for the first time in south Tamilnadu.

Laparoscopic work:

Further I would like to inform you that our hospital is one among the few centers doing laparoscopic oncology work. We hold the record of doing highest number of laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (Wertheim’s operation) for carcinoma cervix in Tamilnadu .
