Professor Haim GUTMAN is a world-renowned oncological surgeon, a unique specialist in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of melanoma, basalioma, squamous cell skin cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, gastrointestinal and breast tumors. He has a total clinical experience of over 40 years.
The professor’s main area of specialization is the treatment of melanoma, the most aggressive tumor known today. According to Chaim Gutman, accurate diagnosis is one of the most important factors for a patient’s speedy recovery. He is constantly improving and developing his skills – among the first in the world, the professor introduced the implementation of signal lymph node biopsy. This procedure allows you to reliably determine the extent of surgery and remove the neoplasm with minimal invasion of healthy tissue. To reduce the risk of recurrence, the professor uses innovative methods, including neo-adjuvant therapy with the latest drugs. Advanced intraoperative isotope technology helps the surgeon to maximize the elimination of side effects and complications. A drug is injected into the patient’s bloodstream and carried to the affected organ or tissue. Over a period of time, the drug is topically irradiated to the affected area.
The professor is an advocate of organ-preserving surgery. In his medical practice, he actively uses minimally invasive laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques that minimize patient recovery time. In complicated cases, the professor resorts to partial or complete removal of the breast to treat breast cancer. Haim Gutman is also known as a brilliant plastic surgeon who masterfully performs breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Preserving the aesthetic appearance of the breast helps patients overcome psychological problems and return to a full life.
