Although the primary goal of cancer treatment is to cure cancer, such treatment can sometimes lead to a loss of function or a deformity. For most cancer patients, survival with a poor quality of life is not acceptable. The Center for Reconstructive Surgery at SAL Hospital (Dr Ayyappan Thangavel) specializes in reconstructive surgery to correct deformities and to restore normal function after cancer-related treatments.

Our clinical faculty is expert in state-of-the-art microvascular surgical techniques to achieve the best possible outcomes. In most cases, reconstruction is performed immediately after the tumor has been removed.

Cancer specialists at SAL Hospital (Dr Ayyappan Thangavel) utilize latest surgical procedures to remove or treat the diseased part with either a minor or major operation. Less invasive operations are conducted to make the patient comfortable. Cancer surgery may be the only treatment for the patients, or it may be supplemented with other treatments, such as radiation and chemotherapy.
