GCT Curettage and Reconstruction Decompression in Pune by Expert Surgeons
What is GCT Curettage and Reconstruction?
Giant Cell Tumor (GCT) Curettage and Reconstruction is a specialized orthopedic oncologic surgery performed to remove benign but locally aggressive bone tumors, most commonly affecting long bones such as the femur, tibia, or humerus. In this procedure, the tumor is carefully removed through curettage (scooping out the tumor tissue), and the resulting bone cavity is reconstructed using bone grafts, bone cement, or advanced implants.
This surgery aims to completely remove the tumor, preserve the natural joint whenever possible, and restore stability and function. By using reconstruction techniques, surgeons prevent recurrence and ensure the affected limb retains maximum mobility. Sancheti Hospital is recognized for offering precise and advanced GCT Curettage and Reconstruction in Pune, guided by experienced orthopedic oncologists and reconstructive specialists.
Benefits of GCT Curettage and Reconstruction
- Preserves the natural joint and limb function
- Reduces risk of tumor recurrence with meticulous surgical techniques
- Prevents fractures and improves bone strength after curettage
- Restores mobility and daily function
- Provides long-term tumor control with minimal functional loss
Limitations and Disadvantages
There is a small risk of tumor recurrence, requiring repeat procedures:
- Reconstruction may involve bone grafts, cement, or prosthesis, which may have complications over time
- Recovery may take several months, especially for weight-bearing bones
- Temporary stiffness, weakness, or post-operative discomfort may occur
