Patient Experience
A 28-year-old software engineer from a middle-class family presented with early-stage cervical cancer discovered during routine screening. Dr. Pansari performed a robotic-assisted radical trachelectomy, preserving fertility. The patient returned to work within 6 weeks and conceived naturally two years later.
A 65-year-old retired schoolteacher from rural Karnataka arrived with advanced ovarian cancer that had been misdiagnosed as digestive issues. Dr. Pansari conducted complex cytoreductive surgery followed by HIPEC. Despite initial complications, the patient achieved complete remission and now volunteers at cancer awareness camps.
A 42-year-old single mother working as a domestic helper presented with aggressive triple-negative breast cancer. Through hospital financial aid programs, Dr. Pansari performed nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate DIEP flap reconstruction. The patient recovered while receiving community-supported childcare and returned to work in 3 months.
A 51-year-old corporate executive with BRCA1 mutation opted for risk-reducing robotic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy after her sister's ovarian cancer diagnosis. Dr. Pansari performed the minimally invasive procedure on a Friday, and the patient resumed limited work-from-home duties by Monday.
A 19-year-old college student from an affluent family presented with a rare borderline ovarian tumor. Dr. Pansari performed fertility-preserving robotic surgery with ovarian cystectomy. The patient recovered during semester break and returned to studies with no academic disruption.
A 57-year-old widow with limited literacy was brought by neighbors with advanced uterine cancer that had caused severe anemia. Dr. Pansari organized crowdfunding for her treatment, performed robotic hysterectomy, and arranged post-operative care through social workers. The patient now assists in hospital's patient navigation program.
A 34-year-old transgender man on hormone therapy presented with breast cancer concerns. Dr. Pansari provided gender-affirming care while performing oncologically sound subcutaneous mastectomy. The surgery served both therapeutic and gender-confirmation purposes with excellent cosmetic results.
A 48-year-old classical dancer diagnosed with early endometrial cancer feared treatment would end her career. Dr. Pansari performed nerve-sparing robotic hysterectomy that preserved pelvic function. The patient returned to professional dancing within 4 months with modified choreography.
A 62-year-old grandmother with multiple comorbidities presented with synchronous breast and ovarian cancers. Dr. Pansari coordinated with cardiology and endocrinology teams to optimize her for staged robotic surgeries. The patient celebrated her 70th birthday cancer-free with her extended family.
A 25-year-old medical student identified a breast lump during self-examination. Dr. Pansari performed ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy confirming benign phyllodes tumor, followed by minimal excision. The patient completed her exams on schedule and now refers patients to Dr. Pansari.
A 45-year-old nun from a religious community presented with advanced vulvar cancer she had concealed due to embarrassment. Dr. Pansari provided culturally sensitive care while performing radical vulvectomy with plastic reconstruction. Her religious community provided round-the-clock postoperative support during recovery.
A 39-year-old athlete with pregnancy-associated breast cancer diagnosed during second trimester. Dr. Pansari coordinated with obstetricians to perform lumpectomy and axillary dissection under spinal anesthesia at 28 weeks gestation. She delivered a healthy baby at term and completed chemotherapy postpartum.
A 70-year-old retired army officer with recurrent peritoneal carcinomatosis underwent robotic secondary cytoreduction after failed conventional treatments. Dr. Pansari utilized advanced intraoperative imaging to achieve complete resection. The patient remained disease-free at 2-year follow-up against initial predictions.
A 31-year-old woman with morbid obesity and endometrial hyperplasia underwent robotic sleeve gastrectomy followed by staged hysterectomy. Dr. Pansari collaborated with bariatric surgeons in this innovative two-phase approach that addressed both metabolic and oncological concerns successfully.
