Open Surgery – In open surgery the oncologist needs to make a large incision, required to remove all or part of a tumor and some portion of the surrounding healthy tissue (margins).
Minimally Invasive Surgery –
- Laparoscopy: Laparoscopy is the type of surgery which require few small incisions and insertion of a laparoscope (a thin tube along with a tiny camera attached) into one of the incisions to take a short of interior portion, while inserting surgical tools into the other incisions to take out malignancies and surrounding tissue.
- Laser surgery: The surgeon will use a narrow beam of high-intensity light to extract the tumor.
- Cryosurgery: The surgery requires the use of liquid nitrogen to freeze and kill cancerous cells.
- Robotic Surgery: This surgery has similarity to a laparoscopic surgery. However, instead of using surgical tools manually, the surgeon uses a computer based robotic tools.
