A tumor is a common cancer-related type of surgery. This procedure is also known as resection or excision.
After you have done several previous exams such as ultrasounds, cat scans or MRIs that determine the place and size of the tumor and a biopsy is preformed, these tests will indicate if a removal is needed or not.
We will perform CBC Blood Test, Blood Chemistry, Anti-doping and HIV test before surgery as well as an EKG. Please come prepared for surgery. The best way to prepare for surgery is:
• Eat Healthy Foods and Drink Lots of Water
• Avoid High Sugar Foods, High Fatty Foods, Alcohol and Cigarettes for 3 weeks before surgery
• Excercise for 1 hour starting 3 weeks before surgery
• Vitamin suppliments are ok
The surgery consists of cutting through the skin with an incision or cut a little larger that a biopsy and extracting the tumor from your body and some healthy tissue near it called the margin. Depending on the area where the tumor is, different types of Anesthesia are used.
You will be monitored closely and given antibiotics and pain medication. Most people recover within a few hours and can go home the same or next day after surgery. Depending on your type of work you can go back to it in 1 or 2 weeks after surgery.
You will have to consult your doctor for resuming specific work or sport activities such as heavy labor or lifting.
Following are some common after-care instructions:
• Take the prescribed medications like antibiotics and pain medications to alleviate any discomfort.
• Daily showers
• 4 weeks after surgery you can start any physical activity gradually.
• Drink plenty of fluids
• Take adequate rest
• Keep checking up with your doctor
