Rajalakshmi Medical College’s Oncology Department Achieves Milestone with Advanced Minimally Invasive Surgery for Stomach Cancer

Rajalakshmi Medical College Hospital and Research Institute (RMCHRI) has successfully performed a complex, minimally invasive surgery for advanced stomach cancer in a post chemotherapy patient, marking a significant step forward in its commitment to delivering cutting-edge cancer care.

Gastric cancer remains one of the more aggressive malignancies, often requiring a multidisciplinary treatment approach that integrates chemotherapy with surgical intervention for optimal outcomes. The team performed a total gastrectomy with lymph node dissection and reconstruction, a technically demanding procedure traditionally carried out through open surgery.

Dr. Haree Shankar Meganathan, Vice chairman of Rajalakshmi Group, stated:

"This procedure is a testament to our focus on accessible healthcare to all while adopting evidence-based surgical techniques that improve patient outcomes and recovery."
