Where Consultations Are Available
Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel practises at three hospitals in Ahmedabad:
- Sterling Hospitals, Sindhubhavan Road — a tertiary care centre with a dedicated oncology department, robotic surgery (da Vinci platform), and multidisciplinary tumour board infrastructure. This is the primary centre for complex cytoreductive surgery, HIPEC, and PIPAC procedures.
- KD Hospital — a well-established multi-specialty hospital at Vaishnodevi Circle, SG Highway, with robotic surgery, laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, comprehensive oncology services, advanced imaging, and pathology support.
- Welcare Speciality Hospital — focused specialist care with personalised consultation access and surgical facilities, including open and laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. Robotic surgery is not available at Welcare.
Patients come from all parts of the city, including Satellite, Bodakdev, Prahlad Nagar, Vastrapur, Thaltej, Bopal and the old city.

Treatments Available in Ahmedabad
Dr. Nishtha’s Ahmedabad practice covers the full spectrum of gynaecological oncology services:
- Robotic surgery — at Sterling Hospitals (da Vinci platform) and KD Hospital, mainly for early womb (endometrial) cancer and selected early ovarian cancer, including staging surgery and sentinel lymph node mapping
- Radical hysterectomy for early cervical cancer — usually done as open surgery. A large 2018 study (the LACC trial) found worse survival with keyhole (laparoscopic) or robotic radical hysterectomy than with open surgery in most cases, so these are considered only for selected small tumours (usually under 2 cm) after discussing this evidence
- HIPEC — hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (garam chemo) combined with cytoreductive surgery for selected women with advanced ovarian and peritoneal cancers
- PIPAC — pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy for recurrent or unresectable peritoneal disease
- Cytoreductive surgery — complex multi-visceral tumour debulking for advanced ovarian cancer
- Laparoscopic (keyhole) cancer surgery — minimally invasive staging, hysterectomy, and lymph node removal, available at all three hospitals
- Fertility-preserving surgery — radical trachelectomy, unilateral oophorectomy, and conservative management for eligible young patients
- Second opinions — independent specialist review of diagnosis, imaging, pathology, and treatment plans
Every case is discussed in a multidisciplinary tumour board meeting with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and radiologists before treatment decisions are finalised.
Patients From Across Gujarat and Western India
While Ahmedabad is the primary consultation base, patients regularly travel from across Gujarat and neighbouring states for subspecialist gynaecological oncology care. Ahmedabad’s connectivity makes it accessible from:
- Gandhinagar — 25 km, under 30 minutes by road
- Vadodara — 110 km, approximately 2 hours by road or 1.5 hours by train
- Surat — 265 km, approximately 4 hours by road or 1 hour by flight
- Rajkot — 215 km, approximately 3.5 hours by road
- Bhavnagar, Jamnagar, Bhuj — regular road and air connectivity
Patients from Rajasthan (Udaipur, Mount Abu), Madhya Pradesh (Indore, Bhopal), and Maharashtra also consult in Ahmedabad. No GP referral is required — patients can contact the practice directly to schedule a consultation.
How to Book a Consultation
Consultations are available by prior appointment at all three hospitals. To make the most of your visit:
- Bring all previous investigation reports — ultrasound, CT/MRI scans (with CDs), blood work, and biopsy/histopathology reports
- Bring a list of current medications and any prior treatment summaries
- If travelling from outside Ahmedabad, mention this when booking so the team can schedule investigations and consultations to minimise the number of visits
If you cannot travel straight away, you can share your reports on WhatsApp (+91 76988 00333) and the team will guide you on the next step.

Gynaecological Oncology in Ahmedabad — FAQs
- Which hospitals does Dr. Nishtha practise at in Ahmedabad?
Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel practises at Sterling Hospitals (Sindhubhavan Road), KD Hospital (Vaishnodevi Circle, SG Highway), and Welcare Speciality Hospital in Ahmedabad. Robotic surgery is available at Sterling Hospitals and KD Hospital; Welcare offers open and laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
- Is robotic surgery for gynaecological cancer available in Ahmedabad?
Yes. Dr. Nishtha performs robotic-assisted surgery at Sterling Hospitals and KD Hospital, Ahmedabad (not at Welcare Speciality Hospital). It suits most early womb (endometrial) cancers and selected early ovarian cancers, and can include staging surgery and sentinel lymph node mapping for eligible patients. For cervical cancer, open radical hysterectomy is the standard for most women: the 2018 LACC trial found worse survival with keyhole or robotic surgery in most cases, so robotic surgery is considered only for selected small tumours (usually under 2 cm) after discussing this evidence.
- Do I need a referral to see Dr. Nishtha in Ahmedabad?
No referral is required. Patients can contact the practice directly at +91 76988 00333 to schedule a consultation. Bringing existing reports and investigations will help make the first visit productive.
- Is HIPEC available in Ahmedabad?
Yes, for selected patients. Dr. Nishtha offers HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy) combined with cytoreductive surgery at Sterling Hospitals, Ahmedabad. It is considered for some women with advanced ovarian cancer when all visible tumour can be removed and they are fit for a long operation; it is not a guaranteed cure. Patients in Gujarat no longer need to travel to Mumbai for this procedure.
- Can I get a second opinion on my cancer diagnosis in Ahmedabad?
Yes. Dr. Nishtha regularly provides independent second opinions on gynaecological cancer diagnoses, imaging, pathology, and treatment plans. Bring all existing reports for a thorough specialist review.
- Which hospital should I go to for my first appointment?
For a first consultation, you can choose whichever of the three hospitals and days suits you. If your treatment may include robotic surgery, it will be done at Sterling Hospitals or KD Hospital. When you call or WhatsApp +91 76988 00333, the team can help you pick.
- Can I have keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery at Welcare Speciality Hospital?
Yes, where it suits your case. Welcare Speciality Hospital offers open and laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, but it does not have a surgical robot. If robotic surgery is advised for you, it is done at Sterling Hospitals or KD Hospital. For cervical cancer, open surgery is the standard for most women, whichever hospital you choose.
