Jaipur

Jaipur se Ahmedabad kitna kilometre hai? Roughly 660 km. Most families take a direct train, often overnight, or travel by road, which takes most of a day; some prefer to fly. Routes and timings change, so check the current timetable. Because it is a long journey, plan to arrive the day before your appointment.

Your appointment will be at Sterling Hospitals (Sindhubhavan Road), KD Hospital (Vaishnodevi Circle) or Welcare Speciality Hospital, so confirm which one before you set out.

Before you leave Jaipur:

• Send your reports on WhatsApp (+91 76988 00333) a few days ahead — ultrasound, CT/MRI, biopsy and blood reports — so the visit can be planned and you know what else to bring. A video consultation is also possible, for example to go through your reports before you travel; a full opinion usually still needs an examination in Ahmedabad.
• Carry the originals — scan CDs or films, biopsy reports (and slides or blocks if you have them), CA-125 or other blood tests, previous discharge papers and your medicine list. See this list of reports and documents to bring.
• Come with a family member who can help with questions and decisions.
• Keep a spare day if you can — further tests may be advised after the first consultation, so avoid booking a tight return journey.

Families from Jaipur who choose Ahmedabad usually want a surgeon who specialises in women’s cancers, or an independent second opinion before an operation. Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel is an ESGO-certified gynaecological oncologist (a surgeon who specialises in women’s cancers), with a 3-year fellowship in gynaecological oncology and 12+ years of experience.

Where each treatment is done: consultations, and open or laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, at all three hospitals; robotic surgery, HIPEC (heated chemotherapy given during surgery, sometimes called garam chemo) and PIPAC at Sterling Hospitals and KD Hospital only. Not every woman needs or is suitable for these treatments; the right plan depends on the type and stage of the cancer and on your overall health.

• Multidisciplinary tumour board — every case is discussed jointly by surgical, medical, and radiation oncologists before treatment decisions are made
• Second opinion access — patients who have received a diagnosis or treatment plan in Jaipur and want independent specialist review before proceeding

Dr. Nishtha’s practice regularly sees patients from Rajasthan. A typical pathway for patients from Jaipur:

1. First contact — call or send your reports on WhatsApp to +91 76988 00333 so the team can look at them and plan your visit. A video consultation is also possible.
2. Consultation — in person in Ahmedabad, with all imaging CDs, biopsy reports (and slides if you have them) and blood reports.
3. Pre-operative workup — some routine tests, such as blood tests and an ECG, can often be done in Jaipur before you travel for surgery, if the team advises it
4. Surgery — in Ahmedabad, at the hospital suited to your operation. Hospital stay depends on the operation: often a few days after robotic (keyhole) surgery, and about 10–14 days, including 3–5 days in intensive care, after major cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC. Families arrange their own stay; Ahmedabad has hotels and guest houses at different budgets, so ask which hospital the surgery is at and stay nearby.
5. Treatment after surgery (adjuvant treatment) — chemotherapy, or radiotherapy (sikai), can often be given in Jaipur by your local oncologist, in coordination with Dr. Nishtha
6. Follow-up — the first check after surgery is in Ahmedabad. Some later routine check-ups and scans may be shared with your doctor in Jaipur, where appropriate; you would still come to Ahmedabad for treatment decisions, new symptoms or a worrying scan or blood result.
