Why choose a dedicated breast cancer surgeon
Most general surgeons treat breast cancer alongside many other conditions. Dr. Shruthi Neela is one of Hyderabad's few surgeons dedicated exclusively to breast surgery — with a Fellowship in Breast Oncoplastic Surgery and over 600 breast cancer surgeries performed, including chest wall perforator flap reconstruction, available at very few centres in Hyderabad.
A breast cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming. Dr. Shruthi takes the time to explain your diagnosis, your surgical options, and what to expect at every step — so you can make an informed decision without feeling rushed.
Breast cancer surgery options
- Lumpectomy — breast-conserving surgery that removes the tumour while preserving the breast, where suitable
- Mastectomy — complete removal of breast tissue, with reconstruction options available
- Modified radical mastectomy — mastectomy with axillary lymph node clearance for more advanced disease
- Oncoplastic surgery — combining cancer removal with plastic surgery techniques for the best cosmetic outcome
- Breast reconstruction — immediate or delayed reconstruction, including implant-based and flap techniques
- Sentinel lymph node biopsy — minimally invasive lymph node assessment to guide further treatment
Your treatment journey
- 1 Consultation & diagnosis review — Dr. Shruthi reviews your imaging, biopsy, and pathology reports and explains your diagnosis in plain language.
- 2 Staging & surgical planning — together you discuss the most appropriate surgery and reconstruction options for your specific tumour.
- 3 Surgery at Sindhu Hospitals, HITEC City — performed with oncoplastic and reconstructive techniques where appropriate.
- 4 Recovery & follow-up — ongoing care to support healing, pathology review, and planning of any further treatment.
Cost of breast cancer surgery in Hyderabad
The cost of breast cancer surgery depends on the type of surgery, whether reconstruction is performed at the same time, hospital stay, and your insurance coverage. Dr. Shruthi and her team at Sindhu Hospitals will discuss the expected costs and insurance process in detail during your consultation, so there are no surprises.
