Fortis Hospital Manesar Achieves a National Milestone with India First Rectal Cancer Surgery Using ALPI Tube Technique

Fortis Hospital Manesar has marked a significant achievement in cancer care by successfully performing India's first rectal cancer surgery using the innovative ALPI Tube Technique. The complex procedure was led by Dr. Vinay Samuel Gaikwad, Senior Director – Surgical Oncology, and his expert multidisciplinary team.

The patient, diagnosed with Stage III rectal cancer, underwent the advanced procedure with excellent clinical outcomes. The ALPI Tube Technique is designed to protect the intestinal connection after surgery, reduce the risk of complications, and, in carefully selected patients, help preserve natural bowel function while avoiding a permanent stoma.

This milestone highlights Fortis Hospital Manesar's commitment to introducing advanced surgical innovations and delivering world-class cancer care through cutting-edge technology, clinical expertise, and a patient-centric approach.
