Many of Assuta’s surgeries are minimally invasive, including the Da Vinci robotic system. In addition, Assuta often performs and puts on stream unique surgeries that are not available in other clinics. For example, back in 2019, specialists from the Surgical Institute performed a complex operation on a patient with pancreatic cancer. The surgeons performed a resection of the head of the pancreas and large blood vessels into which the tumor had grown. They also restored the blood supply to the gland. In most clinics in the world, such cases are considered inoperable.
Assuta often sees patients with stage 3-4 cancer who have been denied surgical treatment at their place of residence. Oncologists, as a rule, first prescribe chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy to such patients, and then surgeons successfully perform the operation.
