Oncology surgery

The Department of Cancer Surgery of the "Oxford Medical" clinic conducts operations on the basis of a modern surgical hospital located in Kiev at  Bereznyakovskaya Street 30B. The clinic is equipped with 2 high-tech operating units which allow performing surgeries of any complexity.

The clinic is equipped with new diagnostic and surgical systems of the world's best manufacturers (Siemens, Philips, Nihon, Hamilton Medical and others). Before the operation the patient undergoes an extensive examination, which includes X-ray, CT scan, laboratory and other studies. Careful diagnosing provides the possibility of determining the exact location and size of the tumor, as well as the presence of metastases. Due to this, the oncology specialist determines the most effective method of performing the operation.

All operations at the cancer department of the "Oxford Medical" clinic are carried out with the help of modern technologies, aiming at the maximum possible safety of the affected organs. The choice of the method of operation (endoscopy, laparoscopy or open method) depends on the indications.

Ultrasonic or X-ray control is often used when performing operations. This allows removing malignant neoplasms with minimal possible damage to healthy tissues.

After the operation patients undergo rehabilitation and treatment procedures in our round-the-clock hospital. Single and double rooms are equipped with a private bathroom, air conditioning, TV and other necessary things for a comfortable stay.

There is also an intensive care unit (resuscitation) at the surgical hospital, equipped with the best systems for monitoring and maintaining vital functions of the body. Optimal microclimatic conditions in the intensive care unit are maintained thanks to the laminar flow of ventilation.

At the Department of oncourology surgical treatment of cancer of the genitourinary system in men and women is carried out.

Our surgeons deal with the tumors, located in:

• bladder;
• kidneys;
• prostate gland;
• esticles;
• seminal vesicles;
• penis.

Prostate or kidney cancer is more likely to develop at the age of 55-65 years and older, while bladder cancer occurs in patients at the age of starting from 40 years, and testicular cancer even at he age of 20 years and older. Therefore, it is so important to undergo preventive examinations regularly, and if seals or other symptoms of the disease are detected, immediately be examined.

At the department of surgical oncogynecology the removal of malignant tumors of the following location is performed:

• uterus;
• the cervix;
• the fallopian tubes;
• ovaries;
• vagina;
• vulvar lips.

Cancer of the reproductive system organs occurs in women of all ages. When performing surgical treatment, it is very important to use the most careful, organ-preserving techniques, so as not to disrupt the childbearing function.

At the «Oxford Medical» clinic practically all reproductive organs cancer surgeries are performed with the help of modern endoscopic techniques (hysteroscopy and laparoscopy). They are conducted under video or ultrasonic control, so that the surgeon removes only neoplasms, preserving maximum of healthy tissues.

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women. That is why at the age of 20 years and older, it is recommended to do an annual ultrasonic examination of the mammary glands and visit a breast physician.

The volume of surgery for breast cancer depends on the size of the tumor and the presence of metastases. If the neoplasm is small, only the malignant cells are removed. In other cases it may be necessary to remove part or all of the breast and axillary lymph nodes. In the future, after such an operation, it is possible to install an implant to eliminate the aesthetic defect.

The «Oxford Medical» clinic employs experienced oncologists, oncosurgeons and plastic surgeons, who will help develop a comprehensive breast cancer treatment program, remove the tumor and perform plastic surgery to restore the breast.

At the department of cancer surgery the removal of malignant neoplasms of the digestive system of the following location is carried out:

• stomach;
• pancreas;
• liver;
• duodenum;
• small and large intestine.

The clinic also performs pancreatoduodenal resection (PDR), or Whipple surgery. This is the most effective method of treating pancreatic cancer, especially when the neoplasm grows in the tissues of adjacent organs. Due to the necessity of high-tech equipping of the clinic and the availability of specific experience of doctors, PDR is carried out relatively rarely in Ukraine. At the «Oxford Medical» clinic surgeries are carried out under the supervision of Doctor of Medicine, high level certificate physicianYuri Zinovievich Lifshits.

The removal of tumors of the retroperitoneal space requires equipping of the clinic with modern diagnostic and surgical systems, and special skills from the surgeon. Such neoplasms can be located near the bladder, intestine, pancreas, kidneys and other organs.

Operations are performed by laparoscopic or open method, depending on the size of the neoplasm, its localization, presence of metastases, etc. The doctor determines the tactics of the operation individually.

Patients undergo rehabilitation after surgical treatment in a comfortable hospital at the "Oxford Medical" clinic.
