Yashoda Hospitals, Somajiguda, has set a new benchmark in the treatment of malignant bone cancers with groundbreaking limb salvage surgeries. Led by a team of distinguished specialists, including Dr. Sunil Dachepalli, Senior Consultant Robotic Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Sachin Marda, Senior Consultant Surgical Oncologist, and Dr. Harish Kancharla, Senior Medical Oncologist, these procedures have provided life-altering outcomes for patients, ranging from 8 to 50 years of age, both nationally and internationally.

Malignant bone cancers, though rare, often necessitate aggressive treatments like limb amputation, significantly impacting a patient’s mobility and quality of life. However, limb salvage surgery has emerged as an innovative alternative, allowing for the removal of tumors while preserving limb function. This advanced procedure not only enhances physical recovery but also ensures psychological and emotional well-being for patients.

One of the key advancements at Yashoda Hospitals is the integration of joint replacement as an alternative to amputation. Pediatric patients, in particular, have greatly benefited from telescopic expandable prostheses, which accommodate their natural growth, eliminating the restrictions of traditional prosthetics. This technology enables young patients to lead active lives without repeated surgical interventions.

By combining orthopedic and oncological expertise, we can now preserve not just the limb, but also the patient’s independence and quality of life. The ability to offer joint replacements and expandable prostheses, especially for children, is a game-changer.”

Dr. Sachin Marda added, “Early diagnosis, precise surgical interventions, and a multidisciplinary approach are crucial in treating bone cancers. Our team at Yashoda Hospitals remains committed to providing world-class cancer care with cutting-edge surgical techniques.”
