A year ago, Mr. Pal was brought to emergency with profuse bleeding in stool—a life threatening symptom! After investigating him, he was diagnosed with bleeding colore**al cancer.

Time was critical. After rapid preoperative optimisation, I performed a Complex Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery to remove the diseased part of his bowel. Thanks to advanced minimally invasive techniques, he made a painless and fast recovery, regained his normal bowel function, and was home in just 4 days.

Fortunately, His cancer was caught early. Today, he is completely cancer-free and living his life to the fullest—his passion for good food very much intact!

At his 1-year follow-up, Mr. Pal arrived not just with a warm smile but also with a pot of home-cooked tiger prawn curry, a heartfelt token of gratitude. 𝐈𝐧 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬, 𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐬 80 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠—𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐲 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞.

Here’s to Mr. Pal’s inspiring spirit, a testament to the power of early detection of Cancer, Advanced surgical expertise, and Minimally Invasive Cancer care.

🟣Colore**al Cancer in India – An Overview🟣

Colore**al Cancer (CRC) is emerging as a significant health burden in India. Traditionally considered more common in Western countries, recent data show a steady rise in incidence in urban Indian populations due to changing lifestyle patterns, diet rich in processed food, obesity, sedentary habits, and increasing life expectancy.
☑️ Epidemiology (India):
• CRC ranks among the 🔝 10 cancers in India.
• Incidence is higher in metropolitan cities, with earlier age of presentation compared to the West (often a decade younger).
• Delayed diagnosis is common due to lack of awareness, limited screening, and non-specific early symptoms.
• Challenges in Indian Scenario:
• Low awareness and late presentation → higher stage at diagnosis.
• Limited population-based screening programs.
• Accessibility gaps in advanced surgical and oncological care, especially in semi-urban and rural areas.

⸻

✳️ Role of Advanced Laparoscopy in CRC Surgery ✳️

Minimally invasive colore**al surgery is now considered standard of care in high-volume centers worldwide, and its adoption is growing in India.

🔆Advantages:
🙂 Smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery.
😌 Shorter hospital stay, early return to normal activity.
😅 Reduced wound complications and hernia risk.
😇 Oncological outcomes comparable to open surgery when performed by trained surgeons.
🧐 Enhanced visualization of deep pelvic structures, especially valuable in re**al cancer surgery.

⸻

🪬Robotic Surgery – The Next Step

Robotic-assisted colore**al surgery is gaining momentum in India, particularly for re**al cancers in the narrow pelvis, where conventional laparoscopy has limitations.

❇️Advantages of Robotic Surgery:

✅ 3D magnified vision → superior visualization of critical structures.
✅ Enhanced dexterity & precision with wristed instruments → better dissection in confined spaces.
✅ Stable platform with tremor filtration → safer nerve preservation (urinary & sexual function).
✅ Facilitates total mesore**al excision (TME) with high accuracy.
✅ Reduced conversion to open surgery in difficult cases.
✅ Comparable oncological clearance with potentially improved functional outcomes.

⸻

🌐Conclusion🌐

Colore**al cancer is a growing challenge in India with rising incidence and late presentation. Advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgery offer significant advantages in terms of recovery, precision, and functional outcomes while maintaining oncological safety. Wider adoption, surgeon training, and accessibility of these technologies are crucial to improve survival and quality of life for Indian patients.

▶️What is Robotic Surgery?

Robotic Surgery is a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive surgical platform that enhances a surgeon’s precision, dexterity, and control. Using advanced robotic arms, high-definition 3D vision, and wristed instruments that mimic human hand movements, the system allows complex procedures to be performed through tiny incisions.

🟢Benefits of Da Vinci Robotic Surgery

✔️Minimally invasive – smaller incisions, reduced scarring.
✔️Greater precision – robotic arms filter hand tremors and allow finer movements.
✔️Enhanced visualization – 3D high-definition, magnified (10–15x) view of the surgical field.
✔️Reduced blood loss – improved hemostasis.
✔️Faster recovery – shorter hospital stay and quicker return to normal activity.
✔️Less pain & fewer complications – compared with conventional open/laparoscopic surgery.

🔵 Patient Experience
🙎🏻‍♂️Patients report less postoperative pain, minimal wound scars, and faster return to work.
🧔🏻‍♂️Reduced dependence on painkillers and lower risk of surgical site infections.
👩🏻‍🦱High satisfaction rates due to cosmetic benefits and quicker recovery.
👴🏻Some concerns include higher cost, but increasing insurance coverage and shorter hospital stays often balance expenses.

I am often asked by my patients-
1. “Will there be any chance of developing HERNIA after Laparoscopic Surgery?”
2. “Will there be a lifelong restriction in lifting Weight after Laparoscopic Surgery?”
3. “Will I ever be able to lead a NORMAL LIFE after Gallbladder removal Surgery?”
Here is the Best answer I have to my patients…
Mr. Arabinda Bhattacharya, one of my post operative patients, winning Gold & Silver Medals 🏅 at International Strength Lifting Championships 2025 in Thailand!
So proud to see you breaking all the MYTHS, BARRIERS & conquering the World 🌎!
This is an incredible example what you can achieve even after Laparoscopic Surgery!
Super proud of you !
Many more to come. 👏
