Wide Excision for Sarcomas in Pune by Expert Surgeons
What is Wide Excision for Sarcomas?
Wide Local Excision (WLE surgery) is a surgical procedure performed to remove sarcomas—rare but aggressive cancers that develop in soft tissues or bones. The surgery involves removing the tumor along with a margin of healthy tissue surrounding it to ensure complete clearance and reduce the risk of recurrence.
At Sancheti Hospital, our expert oncologic surgeons specialize in WLE surgery for sarcomas, using advanced techniques to balance complete tumor removal with the preservation of function and appearance. Depending on the tumor’s location, reconstruction may also be required, which our plastic and reconstructive surgery team provides seamlessly.
Benefits of Wide Excision for Sarcomas
- Removes the tumor completely and lowers the chance of recurrence
- Preserves as much limb and tissue function as possible
- Improves survival rates when combined with radiotherapy or chemotherapy
- Can often prevent the need for amputation in many cases
- Enhances quality of life with early rehabilitation support
Limitations and Disadvantages
- Risk of complications such as infection, bleeding, or delayed wound healing
- In cases of large tumors, reconstructive surgery may be required
- Does not guarantee that cancer won’t return, hence long-term follow-up is essential
- Recovery time may vary depending on tumor size and complexity of surgery
- Emotional and physical rehabilitation may be challenging for some patients

Frequently Asked Questions
What is WLE surgery in sarcoma treatment?
WLE surgery (Wide Local Excision) involves removing the sarcoma along with surrounding healthy tissue to prevent recurrence.
Is wide excision always necessary for sarcomas?
Yes, it is the standard approach when the tumor is localized and resectable, helping preserve limb and organ function.
How long does it take to recover after wide excision surgery?
Recovery varies but generally takes 6–12 weeks, with full rehabilitation supported by physiotherapy.
Can wide excision prevent amputation?
In many cases, wide excision for sarcomas allows surgeons to save the limb, avoiding the need for amputation.
What are the risks of WLE surgery?
Risks include infection, wound healing delays, bleeding, or recurrence of the tumor.
Will I need additional treatment after WLE surgery?
Yes, depending on the case, radiation or chemotherapy may be advised along with surgery.
What is the difference between biopsy and wide excision surgery?
A biopsy removes only a small tissue sample for diagnosis, whereas wide excision surgery removes the entire tumor with margins.
