Tumor Removal Surgery Process
Your tumor removal in West Bloomfield Township is going to be determined by a number of factors like where the tumor is and whether it is benign or malignant. Often, benign tumors don’t need to be treated unless they are causing other symptoms.
01
Diagnosis
Your healthcare team will use a variety of techniques to diagnose your tumor, these might include blood work, imaging scans like X-ray, CT, MRI or PET scans. If it's determined that surgery is the best strategy for your tumor, we will schedule your procedure. Depending on the type of tumor, you may need other treatments (such as chemotherapy) to fully treat your condition.
02
Surgery
Typically tumor removal requires an incision to access the tumor and then cuts to remove it. Depending on where the Dr. Seman can complete this using an open incision or by using smaller incisions and a laparoscope. Laparoscopic tumor removals tend to be less invasive than an open surgery.
03
Recovery
After your procedure, Dr. Seman will provide detailed post operative instructions to help your healing and recovery. Most patients are able to get back to their normal within a few days.
