What is cancer reconstructive surgery?
A cancer diagnosis is very difficult to accept. While the main goal of cancer care is to cure the disease by tumour removal, some treatments can leave patients with a loss of function and appearance. Cancer Reconstructive Surgery helps repair, reconstruct, and restore the defects caused by cancer or its treatment. Reconstructive surgery is done at the same sitting after the cancer removal. This is essential for regaining both function and aesthesis..
Note - The reconstruction has to not only serve and last the entire course of the treatment but also serve the patient for the future. Hence it is a critical component of effective cancer treatment.
Cancer reconstructive is aimed at
- Patients to be informed of their treatment options
- Delivering care in a timely manner
- Appropriate, affordable, specialised and quality care
- Monitoring the patient’s health in the post-surgery period
- Helping patients regain their confidence and comfort

What should you expect during the consultation?
You will meet our team on your visit, and your surgeon will personally evaluate your condition, ask about your health history and take some measurements and photographs. You will have an opportunity to discuss treatment options and the recommended course of treatment, explore outcomes of procedures and the potential risks and complications associated and get your questions answered.
What should you expect during the treatment?
The anaesthesia team assesses your medical fitness before surgery. They can prescribe some diagnostic testing and medications. Once the medical fitness is declared, instructions for the day of surgery are given. On discharge, postoperative care and follow-up instructions are explained.
What should you expect during the recovery following cancer reconstruction?
There can be some discomfort, swelling and pain after surgery. Post-surgery medications are prescribed for faster recovery. Our team will advise you on the care of the surgical site and feeding or activity restrictions that may be necessary to promote normal healing. Also, you can discuss specific issues to be monitored in the general health of your patient during recovery with your doctor. Periodic follow-ups are advised to monitor the patient’s health status.
How much does cancer reconstruction cost?
Treatment cost varies based on the type of procedure planned and many other factors like other medical conditions, choice of operative facility, room choice etc. We also offer short-stay surgeries (like same-day surgeries) to save costs. While cost is an important consideration from your perspective, it should not override clinical considerations, and that’s why a balanced approach is advisable.
Will my insurance plan cover it?
Reconstructive surgeries are covered by health insurance. Pre-certification is generally required for hospitalisation or reimbursement. Be sure to consult with your insurance company in advance of any surgery. Patient financing plans are also available to help cover costs.
