The Five Pillars of Practice
Precision
Using the most advanced robotic, fluorescence‑guided and minimally invasive techniques to achieve accurate, targeted cancer removal with the least impact on the body.
Innovation
Adopting globally proven technologies — HIPEC, PIPAC, robotic surgery, ICG imaging — to deliver outcomes on par with the world's best cancer centres, right here in Chennai.
Compassion
Treating every patient as a whole person. Clear communication, honest counsel, and dignity at every step of the journey — from first consultation to full recovery.
Education
Mentoring the next generation of oncologists, contributing to peer‑reviewed surgical research, and presenting at national and international conferences to advance the field.
Collaboration
Practising within multidisciplinary tumour boards to ensure every patient receives a complete, personalised, evidence‑based treatment plan — not just a surgical opinion.
LATEST TECHNOLOGY
Dr. Srikarthik Voleti is trained on some of the most advanced surgical platforms in the world — bringing a level of technical capability to Chennai that was previously available only at major international cancer centres.
Da Vinci Robotic Surgical System
The global gold standard in robotic surgery. Offers unmatched 3D visualisation, wristed instrument control, and tremor-filtered precision — enabling complex cancer operations with minimal blood loss, reduced post-operative pain, and significantly faster recovery.
SSI Mantra — India's Own Robotic System
Dr. Srikarthik is one of a select group of surgeons trained on India’s indigenously developed robotic surgical system, expanding access to robotic cancer care within the country.
HIPEC — Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy
A specialised procedure combining extensive cytoreductive surgery with heated chemotherapy delivered directly into the abdominal cavity. Offers a curative pathway for peritoneal surface malignancies — including ovarian and colorectal cancers that have spread within the abdomen — that were once considered untreatable.
PIPAC — Pressurised IntraPeritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy
An innovative, minimally invasive technique delivering chemotherapy as a pressurised aerosol via laparoscopy. ISSPP-certified. Suitable for patients with peritoneal disease where conventional chemotherapy has limited reach, with dramatically reduced systemic side effects.
ICG Fluorescence-Guided Surgery
Using Indocyanine Green dye and near-infrared imaging to identify sentinel lymph nodes and tumour margins with real-time precision during surgery — reducing the risk of recurrence and sparing healthy tissue.
Total Neoadjuvant Therapy with Short-Course Radiotherapy
Advanced pre-surgical treatment strategies for locally advanced rectal cancers — optimising conditions for surgery and improving long-term oncological outcomes.
