Robotic Surgery Restored Hope After Esophageal Cancer | Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road
When Ignatius Majamanda from Malawi was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, his ability to eat and drink became severely affected. The news was overwhelming, but his wife encouraged him to seek a second opinion in India, a decision that changed their lives. After reaching out to Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, Ignatius received a prompt and reassuring response from the expert oncology team. Under the guidance of Dr. Hemanth G N and Dr. Suraj Manjunath, a detailed treatment plan was created. He first underwent chemotherapy to shrink the tumor, followed by a robotic esophagectomy, an advanced, minimally invasive surgery that removes the affected portion of the food pipe and reconstructs it using the stomach. The complex robotic procedure was performed successfully, allowing Ina to recover quickly and regain his normal life. Today, he can eat and drink comfortably again, with renewed strength and confidence. His journey is a true testament to Manipal Hospital’s expertise in robotic oncology, where compassionate care meets world-class technology to deliver life-changing outcomes.
