Doctors of the clinic are qualified, speak English well. But the organization of treatment, that is, all these coordinators and translators already when you are in India, is a huge minus of the process. Simply huge. Expectations of everything and everywhere for hours, sometimes at times, poor awareness, a terrible accent on Russian, that one can understand a lot to the exact opposite, ignorance of medical terms, that is, only life can translate. I accompanied mamutna treatment, I speak English a little, therefore something accelerated due to this. One patient should not go, look for an accompanying person if other countries do not fit the prices for treatment. If someone is traveling alone or an accompanying person does not know English, the process will spoil your nerves. The very examination and treatment, surgery, everything is at a good level. But before the ability to organize everything painlessly for the patient, it will still come to BLK not soon. I do not know, as in other clinics in India, I think it's the same. Translators are different here, and the problems are the same. So in the whole country I think. But if there is no way out, you can entrust local doctors to the health. The patient is well fed in the hospital and the accompanying person. Chambers of any size isolate the patient with curtains around the perimeter, you see only the staff, but keep in mind that the multiple rooms are very noisy. Who prays in Arabic for the whole room, who sings the song, who plays the game with sound effects, who is screaming on the phone, because there is still no silence, people still have groans for the illnesses of people ... they do not do anybody for unconnected phones, loud talks and other inadequacy.

Everything is well organized there

Was on vacation in the state of Goa. Before the trip, he performed an operation to remove prostate adenoma, according to the results of a biopsy, he found signs of adenocarcinoma. In order to have different opinions, the doctors decided to consult with a local oncourologist from Manipal hospital. Ostap Bondarenko from Bookimed arranged for me to see a doctor. Before that, he attempted to contact the hospital on his own, but they did not respond. Everything is well organized there. I like it. All questions discussed. Translator Svetlana first discussed everything with me and clarified the terminology. And then at the reception everything is available to the doctor translated my questions and his advice to me. The doctor is very competent and explained to me all possible treatment options and the necessary research.

Our Pancreatic cancer surgery Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Pancreatic cancer surgery , it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Whipple surgery

Whipple surgery, also known as pancreaticoduodenectomy, is a complex procedure that removes parts of the pancreas, small intestine, and bile duct to treat pancreatic cancer.

Pros: Effective for removing tumors in the head of the pancreas. Provides a chance for a cure in localized pancreatic cancer cases. 20% survival rate at five years.

Cons: Long recovery time compared to distal pancreatectomy. Higher risk of complications, including digestive issues and diabetes.

Effectiveness: 50% success rate in achieving tumor-free margins.

Duration: 5-8 hours

Recovery: 6-8 weeks

Best for: Tumors in the pancreatic head, bile duct, or duodenum. Suitable for early-stage pancreatic cancer.

Prices: Cost of Whipple surgery in India from AUD $10,468

Distal Pancreatectomy

A surgical procedure involving the removal of the body and tail of the pancreas, often performed to treat pancreatic tumors.

Pros: Less invasive than the Whipple procedure, with a shorter operating time and reduced recovery period. Laparoscopic options available, reducing scarring and hospital stay.

Cons: Potential for diabetes if a significant portion of the pancreas is removed. Risk of spleen removal, which can affect immune function.

Effectiveness: 80% success rate in removing tumors with minimal complications.

Duration: 2-4 hours.

Recovery: 4-6 weeks.
