Sun Speciality Clinic, Coimbatore offers advanced gallbladder cancer surgery under the expertise of Dr. K. Balu (Surgical Gastroenterologist & GI Oncosurgeon). Gallbladder cancer develops when abnormal cells grow in the gallbladder, a small organ under the liver that stores bile. Symptoms are often vague in early stages, including abdominal pain, nausea, jaundice, unexplained weight loss, fever, and loss of appetite. At Sun Speciality Clinic, we provide comprehensive care for gallbladder cancer, including accurate diagnosis, staging, surgical treatment, and post-operative care. Our clinic specializes in laparoscopic, robotic, and open gallbladder cancer surgeries, focusing on complete tumor removal with negative margins, while preserving surrounding structures whenever possible.
Surgery may be combined with lymph node dissection, bile duct reconstruction, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy, following a multidisciplinary approach to maximize patient outcomes. With extensive experience in GI oncology and minimally invasive surgery, Dr. K. Balu ensures precision, safety, and optimal recovery.
