In a significant stride forward for cancer and orthopedic care, Yashoda Hospitals, Somajiguda, has emerged as a beacon of hope for patients battling malignant bone cancers. A dedicated team of experts has successfully performed groundbreaking limb salvage surgeries, offering life-changing outcomes to patients ranging in age from 8 to 50 years — both from across India and abroad.

Traditionally, malignant bone cancers have left patients with few choices, often resulting in limb amputations that severely impact mobility, independence, and psychological health. But the scenario is changing. With advancements in surgical oncology and orthopedic robotics, limb salvage procedures now offer an alternative that preserves both form and function — and, more importantly, dignity.

At the heart of this medical breakthrough is a multidisciplinary team led by Dr. Sunil Dachepalli, Senior Consultant Robotic Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Sachin Marda, Senior Consultant Surgical Oncologist, and Dr. Harish Kancharla, Senior Medical Oncologist. Their combined expertise has enabled the hospital to conduct these complex surgeries with a success rate that’s drawing international attention.

One of the most transformative aspects of Yashoda’s approach is the integration of joint replacements and telescopic expandable prostheses, particularly for pediatric patients. These expandable implants grow along with the child, reducing the need for multiple surgeries and allowing young patients to enjoy active, full lives — a revolutionary step in pediatric cancer care.

“Limb salvage surgery has revolutionized bone cancer treatment,” said Dr. Sunil Dachepalli. “We’re not just preserving limbs; we’re preserving independence and hope. The ability to offer expandable prostheses for children is a game-changer in ensuring long-term quality of life.”

Echoing the importance of early and precise intervention, Dr. Sachin Marda noted, “Early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach are key. Our focus is always on blending cutting-edge surgical techniques with compassionate care.”

Dr. Harish Kancharla emphasized the hospital’s holistic treatment philosophy. “These surgeries are not just about removing cancer; they’re about restoring life. Our integrated care model — combining oncology, orthopedics, and rehabilitation — ensures patients receive the best chance at recovery and long-term wellness.”

Over the past three months alone, the team at Yashoda Hospitals has performed eight successful limb salvage surgeries, each case restoring more than mobility — it restored confidence, joy, and a future. With patients traveling from different parts of the country and the world, the hospital is fast becoming a global hub for advanced bone cancer treatment.

By pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in oncological and orthopedic care, Yashoda Hospitals is not only transforming lives but also redefining what cancer recovery can look like — one saved limb at a time.
