The method used for cancer surgery depends on the type and location of the cancer. Some common techniques include:
- Open Surgery: Traditional surgery involving a large incision to access the tumor. - Minimally Invasive Surgery: Techniques such as laparoscopy or robotic surgery, which involve smaller incisions and typically shorter recovery times. - Laser Surgery: Uses focused light to cut through or destroy cancerous tissue. - Cryosurgery: Involves freezing and destroying abnormal cells. - Electrosurgery: Uses electrical currents to destroy cancer cells.
