Advanced Radical (open) procedures
Open and complex procedures: When is radical surgery needed?
When cancer is advanced, or a tumour is large or close to other organs, open surgery (through a single larger incision) is often the safest and most effective approach. It gives the surgeon the fullest possible access to remove all disease — and for many gynaecological cancers, the completeness of that surgery is one of the most important factors in a patient’s outcome.
Mr Sideris is a subspecialty-trained gynaecological oncology surgeon with extensive experience in major open and complex procedures, including:
- Cytoreductive (“debulking”) surgery for advanced ovarian cancer
- Radical hysterectomy and pelvic surgery for cervical and womb cancer
- Surgery involving the bowel, peritoneum or upper abdomen where the disease has spread
- Complex and exenterative procedures for advanced or recurrent disease
- Removal of large or complex pelvic masses where keyhole surgery is not appropriate
His research includes work on predicting and reducing the risks of major ovarian cancer surgery, reflecting a focus on achieving the most complete cancer clearance while keeping patients as safe as possible
Our approach
Precision. Expertise. MDT.
Our philosophy for complex surgery is the plan and discuss in a multidisciplinary manner, collaborate across different disciplines and focus on patient-centered care.
Multidisciplinary approach
We make decisions as part of a large team of expert surgeons, oncologists radiologist and pathologists. We often operate together with different surgical disciplines to bring the best result for the patient.
Advanced Facilities
London Clinic provides large expertise in available facilities and can accomodate safely surgery of any complexity.
Oncological Expertise
Performing the right procedure of appropriate radicality, which translates to meaningful oncological outcome is our way of thinking.
