Kauvery Hospital Performs Limb-Preserving Cancer Surgery
A man had a bad skin sore on his leg that turned out to be cancer.
The cancer grew into his bone and other parts of his leg.
Doctors at Kauvery Hospital made a plan to remove the cancer.
They cut out the bad parts and then fixed the leg by using bone and skin from other parts of his body.
This helped him keep his leg and walk normally.
The doctors worked together to make sure he got the best care.
A 42-year-old man was diagnosed with advanced skin cancer involving bone after ignoring a leg ulcer.
The cancer had spread extensively, involving muscles, bone, and lymph nodes.
A multidisciplinary team at Kauvery Hospital devised a treatment plan to remove the tumor and preserve limb functionality.
The surgical team performed a tumor and bone resection, as well as lymph node clearance.
Reconstruction involved a bone graft and soft tissue transplant to restore stability and aid healing.
