About Cancer Reconstruction Surgery

Cancer reconstruction surgery, performed by a surgical oncologist, is a specialized procedure that restores form and function to areas of the body affected by cancer removal. Following the excision of a tumor, this surgery aims to rebuild tissues, close defects, and improve aesthetic outcomes, helping patients regain confidence and quality of life. Common techniques include skin grafts, tissue flaps, and microsurgical procedures to transfer tissue from one part of the body to another. This integral part of cancer care addresses both the physical and psychological impacts of cancer treatment, ensuring comprehensive recovery and rehabilitation for patients.

PATIENT REVIEW

Navya Verma, a 42-year-old classical dancer...

Navya Verma, a 42-year-old classical dancer and teacher, discovered a small lump in her left breast during a self-examination. A mammogram and biopsy confirmed stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma. As a performer whose art form relies on grace and symmetry, the prospect of a standard lumpectomy leaving a significant dent was devastating. Her surgical oncologist, Dr. Sharma, recommended an oncoplastic lumpectomy with immediate reconstruction. This specialized procedure would remove the tumor with clear margins while a plastic surgeon, working in tandem, would rearrange the remaining breast tissue to preserve its natural shape and contour. Navya was terrified of losing a part of her identity. The surgery went smoothly. The recovery was physically challenging but manageable. The emotional relief when she saw her reconstructed breast for the first time was profound. While she bears a scar, the shape and symmetry are preserved. Six months post-op, after completing radiation, she has slowly returned to teaching. The surgery allowed her to fight the cancer without feeling she had to sacrifice the physical form integral to her art and self-esteem. Her journey was from fear of mutilation to gratitude for a solution that treated both the disease and her whole self.
