Areas of Expertise

Specialties

07 disciplines
Minimally Invasive Cancer Surgery
Surgery using keyhole-sized cuts — robotic arms or a laparoscope (tiny camera) instead of a large incision. Patients go home faster, recover sooner, with less pain and minimal scarring.
Robotic · Laparoscopic
High Risk & Complex Cancer Surgery
Cases that other hospitals may decline — patients with advanced tumours, multiple conditions, or prior failed surgeries. Dr. Shetty's 25+ years of experience make the difference when stakes are highest.
Complex · Advanced Stage
Thoracic Thymus Surgery
Specialised surgery for tumours and conditions of the thymus gland, located in the chest — including thymomas and thymus-related disorders — performed with precision to protect surrounding cardiothoracic structures.
Chest · Thymus
Organ Preserving Surgery
Advanced surgical techniques that remove cancer while preserving healthy organ tissue and function wherever oncologically safe — combining precision with a focus on long-term quality of life.
Organ-Sparing · Function Preservation
Head & Neck Cancer Surgery
Surgery for cancers of the throat, mouth, tongue, thyroid, and salivary glands. Careful planning preserves speech, swallowing, and facial appearance alongside complete cancer removal.
H&N Oncology · Thyroid
Colorectal Cancer Surgery
Treatment for cancers of the colon, rectum, and lower digestive system. Minimally invasive approaches are used wherever possible — shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, reduced complications.
GI Oncology · Colon · Rectum
Uro-Gynaecological Oncology
Surgical management of cancers affecting the urinary system (kidney, bladder, prostate) and the female reproductive organs (ovary, uterus, cervix). Handled with expertise and care.
Urological · Gynaecological
