Verified review.
My recommendations to friends, acquaintances only this Clinic! The prices are reasonable
Good day! I would like to share my impressions of being in the clinic. Thanks to the coordinators, the staff of the international clinic center, all wishes were taken into account. Special thanks to the attending physician, the procedure was perfect, the staff is very attentive, courteous. They are located in a 5-bed room, but at the same time there is no discomfort, food can be chosen taking into account personal taste preferences (Korean, European cuisine) and at the same time satisfying and varied. I can say one thing, there is no limit to my gratitude, my recommendations to friends, acquaintances only this Clinic! The prices are reasonable.

Verified review.
"Clinic definitely recommend
When they learned what was needed in the clinic, they didn’t even know where to run and whom to contact. Coordinators helped to select a clinic. They gave us a doctor. Everything went great, the doctor is a true professional.  Separately, I want to note the attitude to patients. We were met at the airport, brought to the clinic and there was already a translator waiting. Literally "by the hand" we were taken to the doctors, everyone translated. Then they provided a taxi to the hotel.   During the operation, the ward was provided for two people - for the patient and the attendant; both of them were included in the cost of the operation.   After surgery, the doctor held a consultation, making sure that you can fly back. And only then answered questions remotely that arose.  Clinic definitely recommend

Hello everybody. Thanks to the Clinic for a successful operation. To the Neurosurgeon Mustafa Onaz and Professor Gohan. We are diagnosed with Brain cancer, the last stage, malignant. The tumor was twice as large. They saved my husband's life. Masha Allah. The operation was 8-9 hours. they deleted everything, I consider this a record. It was a difficult operation. Well done. At our KZ they could not remove everything that was, only a small part was removed and that's it. I bow to you. At the expense of the clinic. Service At the Highest Level.

In principle, the visit went very well, only good impressions remained. Now there are certain problems, because doctors at home do not agree with the diagnosis that was made in China, but we were provided with professional help at the Food Clinic. Despite the fact that the full-time translator was on vacation and we took it on our own, the visit went very well. The rooms are very good, they look like 5 star rooms. As soon as we arrived, the nurses came to the ward, measured the pressure, helped in everything. In general, the clinic staff is friendly and helpful.

FAQ about Melanoma surgery

Surgical excision of melanoma is the main treatment for early-stage skin cancer. .

In stage 0 and stage I melanoma, removal of the primary tumor may be the only procedure necessary for complete recovery.

The main types of operations performed for melanoma:

  • wide excision (excision);
  • micrographic removal (Mohs operation).

Wide excision

Wide excision (excision) involves the removal of the formation along with some healthy tissue around the edges. The tumor is excised with a scalpel under local anesthesia, making an indent of 0.5-2 cm. The size of the surgical margin depends on the thickness (germination) of the melanoma deep into the skin.

After removal of the formation, a suture is applied.

Formation thickness

Surgical edge

non-invasive melanoma

0.5 cm

less than 1 mm

1 cm

from 2 to 4 mm

2 cm

more than 4 mm

2 cm

A pathologist examines the removed tissue for tumor involvement. If malignant cells are found in the border tissue, irradiation is performed to destroy the remaining formation. A biopsy of the sentinel nodes is also mandatory.

If malignant cells in the sentinel lymph node were found, lymph node dissection ( lymphadenectomy ) is performed - removal of the affected lymph nodes.

Mohs operation

The Mohs operation is the removal of the formation in stages, in layers. Each layer removed during the operation is examined under a microscope to detect cancer cells. The next layer is removed as long as there are tumor cells in it. This approach is gentle and allows you to remove the tumor, preserving healthy skin as much as possible.

Mohs surgery can be used for lesions of the face , where a wide excision can leave an unwanted cosmetic defect. Many doctors recommend Mohs surgery only for non- melanoma skin cancers.

With damage to the limbs and deep germination of the tumor, amputation can be performed. In an effort to preserve as much tissue as possible, doctors also offer radiation and local chemotherapy (isolated limb perfusion) as alternatives.

Removal of melanoma at different stages

At stages 0 and I, the main method of treatment is a wide excision.

At stage II, the tumor is also excised, however, a biopsy of the sentinel lymph node is mandatory, and if it is damaged, lymphadenectomy is performed.

At stage III melanoma, a wide excision is performed, removal of the lymph nodes in which malignant cells were found, and drug therapy.

At the IV (last) stage, the removal of the primary tumor takes place whenever possible. For the treatment of metastases, drug therapy and / or radiation are mandatory.

Postoperative care

To accelerate the healing of a postoperative wound, it is necessary to strictly follow the recommendations of a specialist:

  • keep the excision site dry, protecting with a sterile bandage;
  • apply an antibiotic ointment to the bandage as prescribed by the doctor;
  • avoid intense physical activity;
  • if you experience any unpleasant symptoms, consult a doctor.

Side effects and complications of surgery

  • infection;
  • bleeding;
  • cosmetic defect (scarring and scar);
  • lymphedema (when removing lymph nodes).

Lymphedema is swelling and swelling of the extremities caused by stagnation of lymph during surgical removal of lymph nodes.

The symptoms of lymphedema are:

  • swelling of the arm or leg from the side of the removed lymph node;
  • feeling of heaviness in the hands;
  • decreased limb flexibility.

Lymphedema can develop immediately after lymph node dissection, and after a long time. Carefully monitor the condition of the body and inform the doctor about any changes!
