A Rectal Cancer Patient Saved from Permanent Stoma by Robotic Surgery - Dr. Chintamani Godbole

In this video, we share the inspiring story of a 65-year-old man diagnosed with mid to low rectal cancer who sought a second opinion to Dr. Chintamani Godbole, Laparoscopic and Robotic Colorectal Surgeon, Practising in Mumbai, at Jaslok Hospital. Initially advised elsewhere to undergo surgery that would result in a permanent colostomy, he came to us for further evaluation.

Upon conducting a detailed MRI scan, we discovered the tumour was quite bulky and had grown into the anus. Our medical team initiated one month of chemo-radiotherapy, leading to significant tumour shrinkage. This enabled us to proceed with advanced robotic surgery, successfully removing the tumour while preserving the anus and anal sphincter, thus avoiding a permanent stoma.

Today, our patient is cancer-free and enjoying a healthy life, thanks to the precise and low-complication, robotic surgery. This case exemplifies the remarkable advancements in medical technology and their impact on improving patient outcomes.
