Surgical Oncology at the Athens Medical Center
Surgical oncology, with the rapid technological developments of recent years, offers the patient solutions to problems such as cancer of the colon and rectum, stomach, and even liver and pancreas, in a minimally invasive manner.
The Clinic of Laparoscopic Surgery & Surgical Oncology at the Athens Medical Center is staffed by a team of experienced surgeons who aim to treat oncological cases with the most advanced technology, for the best possible outcome: initially in terms of survival, which is the primary goal, and then in terms of complications, which we seek to reduce as much as possible, while at the same time aiming for a faster recovery of the patient and minimizing postoperative pain, using minimally invasive techniques.
There are now available laparoscopic cameras with very high resolution that reveal every detail of the anatomy, with a fluorescence system, to check the blood supply and vitality of the tissues, and to highlight the extent of the tumors and affected lymph nodes. Whether it is tumors of the colon, stomach, pancreas, or liver, or even gynecological cancers such as ovarian.
The Da Vinci robotic system is also used, which ensures the stability of the image and tools, and the possibility of movements.
The result is perfection in detail.
