Diagnosis and planning
Imaging and biopsy define the tumour and the surgical plan is agreed.
Pre-operative assessment
Blood tests, anaesthetic review and fitness checks are completed.
Surgery day
The tumour and a healthy margin are removed under general anaesthesia.
Hospital recovery
Pain control, wound care and early mobilisation begin over the following days.
Pathology review
Examination of the removed tissue guides any further treatment.
Follow-up
Wound checks and surveillance imaging are arranged in the weeks ahead.
The questions you'd ask a friend who'd already done it
Will I need more treatment after surgery?
This depends on the pathology results; some patients need additional chemotherapy or radiotherapy, while others do not.
How big will the scar be?
Scar size varies with the approach; minimally invasive techniques use small incisions where the tumour location allows.
How long is the hospital stay?
It ranges from a short stay to a week or more depending on the organ and complexity of the operation.
