Dr. Gore holds the FARIS (Fellowship in Advanced Robotic & Innovative Surgery) from the University of Edinburgh — one of the most rigorous robotic surgery certifications globally, held by very few surgeons in India.

Robotic surgery is Dr. Gore's primary approach for rectal cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic Whipple's, distal pancreatectomy, gastrectomy, and colectomy — offering superior vision, tremor-free precision, and faster patient recovery.

Knowledge Hub

Patient Education — Every Format, Every Topic

Well-informed patients make better decisions and have better outcomes. Our Knowledge Hub covers every aspect of GI cancer across five formats — written and curated by Dr. Gore's team, in plain language.

Do I always need surgery for rectal cancer?
Not immediately. Most rectal cancers require neoadjuvant chemoradiation to shrink the tumour before surgery. Some achieve complete response — meaning no surgery is needed. Dr. Gore reviews every case at MDT before any plan is finalised.
Can liver metastases from colorectal cancer be cured?
Yes — surgical resection of colorectal liver metastases achieves 3–5 year survival in 30–50% of patients and is the only curative option. Many patients told they are inoperable can be successfully resected at specialist centres.
What is a stoma and will mine be permanent?
A stoma is a surgically created opening to divert stool into a bag. In most rectal cancer surgery, a loop ileostomy is created temporarily and reversed after 8–12 weeks. A permanent stoma is only needed when the tumour directly invades the sphincter.
What is robotic surgery and is it better than open?
Robotic surgery uses the da Vinci Xi system — providing 10× 3D magnified vision and 7-degree wristed instruments in confined spaces. For rectal cancer, the ROLARR and REAL trials confirm robotic surgery is equivalent oncologically and superior for nerve preservation.
What is HIPEC and who needs it?
HIPEC is used when colorectal cancer has spread to the peritoneum. Cytoreductive surgery removes all visible tumour deposits, then heated chemotherapy is circulated in the abdomen for 90 minutes — treating microscopic residual disease.
Can anal canal cancer be treated without surgery?
In most cases, yes. Anal canal squamous cell carcinoma is treated primarily with chemoradiation (Nigro protocol). 60–80% of patients achieve complete tumour eradication. Surgery is reserved for residual or recurrent disease only.
