Once all assessments are complete, the surgical team meets to formulate a plan. This includes:
Choosing the Surgical Technique: Deciding between options like open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, or robotic-assisted surgery. Determining the Extent of Surgery: Deciding how much tissue to remove, which may include lymph nodes or surrounding organs. Planning for Reconstruction: If applicable, planning how to reconstruct the area post-tumor removal. Postoperative Care: Planning for recovery, which includes pain management, physical therapy, and follow-up treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
