Gynaec Oncologist SG Highway in Ahmedabad — Expert Cancer Care
The short answer: Yes, one of Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel’s three hospitals is on SG Highway: KD Hospital, at Vaishnodevi Circle. She also consults at Sterling Hospitals (Sindhubhavan Road) and Welcare Speciality Hospital. She is a gynaec oncologist, meaning a surgeon for cancers of the ovaries, womb (uterus), cervix, vagina and vulva. In Gujarati this is often searched as strirog cancer nishnat (સ્ત્રીરોગ કેન્સર નિષ્ણાત).
Dr. Nishtha is an ESGO-certified gynaecological oncosurgeon with more than 12 years of experience. See also specialist gynaecological cancer care in Ahmedabad.
KD Hospital and Sterling Hospitals both offer robotic surgery as well as keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery, so if a robot-assisted operation suits your cancer, it can be planned at either hospital. Robotic surgery is not right for every cancer; the treatments section below explains when it is used.

Why SG Highway Patients Choose This Gynaec Oncologist
SG Highway residents commonly schedule a consultation for HIPEC and PIPAC eligibility review, advanced ovarian cancer second opinions, planning for robotic surgery where it suits the cancer, and post-treatment follow-up.
Dr. Nishtha’s practice is positioned for the cases that benefit most from a specialist gynaecological cancer surgeon (gynaec oncologist) rather than a general gynaecologist:
- Surgery for ovarian cancer — including advanced-stage cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC.
- Cervical cancer surgery — radical hysterectomy with removal of nearby lymph nodes. Open surgery is the standard for most early cervical cancers.
- Fertility-preserving surgery — for selected early-stage cervical, ovarian and endometrial cancers.
- Second opinions — independent review of pathology, imaging and treatment plans.
Dr. Nishtha is a member of the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO) and brings international training standards to her practice in SG Highway and across Ahmedabad.
Treatments Available to SG Highway Patients
For patients from SG Highway, Dr. Nishtha’s practice covers the full surgical spectrum of gynaecological oncology:
- Robotic surgery — for most early womb (endometrial) cancers and selected early ovarian cancers, including staging and sentinel lymph node mapping. Done at Sterling Hospitals and KD Hospital.
- HIPEC — heated chemotherapy (garam chemo) given during cytoreductive surgery, for selected patients.
- PIPAC — pressurised intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy.
- Cytoreductive surgery — complex multi-visceral debulking.
- Radical hysterectomy — for early-stage cervical cancer; usually done as open surgery, with keyhole or robotic surgery only for selected small tumours.
- Fertility-preserving surgery — for eligible early-stage cancers.
Every case is reviewed in a multidisciplinary tumour-board meeting with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists and radiologists before treatment is finalised.

Gynaec Oncologist SG Highway FAQs
- Which hospital on SG Highway does Dr. Nishtha consult at?
KD Hospital, at Vaishnodevi Circle on SG Highway. Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel, an ESGO-certified gynaec oncologist, also sees patients at Sterling Hospitals (Sindhubhavan Road) and Welcare Speciality Hospital. She treats ovarian, cervical, womb, vaginal and vulvar cancers.
- Is KD Hospital the closest option if I live on SG Highway?
Often, but it depends on which part of SG Highway you live in and on traffic at the time. Please check a map app. You can choose any of the three hospitals; you see the same doctor, and both KD Hospital and Sterling Hospitals have robotic surgery.
- Is robotic gynaecological cancer surgery available for SG Highway patients?
Yes. Robotic surgery is available at KD Hospital on SG Highway and at Sterling Hospitals (not at Welcare Speciality Hospital, which offers keyhole surgery without a robot). It is a good option for most early womb (endometrial) cancers and for selected early ovarian cancers. It is not the standard for cervical cancer: for most early cervical cancers, open radical hysterectomy is recommended, because the 2018 LACC trial found worse survival with keyhole and robotic surgery. It may be considered only for selected tumours under about 2 cm, after a full discussion.
- Can SG Highway patients get HIPEC treatment in Ahmedabad?
Yes, for selected patients. HIPEC (heated chemotherapy given inside the abdomen during surgery, garam chemo) with cytoreductive surgery is performed at Sterling Hospitals, Ahmedabad. It is considered for some stage 3 (sometimes stage 4) cancers when all visible tumour can be removed and the patient is fit for an operation of about 8–14 hours. It is not a guaranteed cure.
- Do I need a referral to see a gynaec oncologist from SG Highway?
No referral is required. Call or WhatsApp +91 76988 00333 to book at KD Hospital or either of the other two hospitals. Bring all your reports to the first visit.
- Is cervical cancer surgery done with the robot?
Usually not. For most early cervical cancers, open radical hysterectomy is the standard operation, because the 2018 LACC trial found worse survival when this surgery was done by keyhole or robot. A robotic or keyhole approach is discussed only for selected small tumours, usually under 2 cm. Many larger cervical cancers are treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy instead of surgery. Your options depend on the stage, which is confirmed by examination, scans and a biopsy.
