Gynaecological Cancer Care for Patients from Udaipur
The short answer: Women from Udaipur and Southern Rajasthan who want a women’s cancer specialist (gynaecological oncologist) can travel to Ahmedabad, roughly 260 km away, to see Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel. Consultations and surgery take place in Ahmedabad, at Sterling Hospitals (Sindhubhavan Road), KD Hospital and Welcare Speciality Hospital. You can send your reports on WhatsApp before travelling, and treatment after surgery, such as chemotherapy, can often be given closer to home.
Dr. Nishtha regularly treats patients from Udaipur and Southern Rajasthan who come for specialist gynaecological cancer care in Ahmedabad, for example after a scan shows a lump on the ovary (ovary me ganth), after a biopsy shows cancer of the womb or of the mouth of the womb (bachedani ke muh ka cancer), or for a second opinion.

Travelling from Udaipur to Ahmedabad
Udaipur se Ahmedabad kitna door hai? Roughly 260 km. Most families come by car or bus on the highway via Himmatnagar, which takes several hours, or by direct train. Timings and services change, so check the current timetable. Because it is a long day, many families from Udaipur arrive the evening before a morning appointment. Ahmedabad is much nearer to Udaipur than Delhi or Mumbai.
Your appointment will be at Sterling Hospitals (Sindhubhavan Road), KD Hospital or Welcare Speciality Hospital, so confirm which one before you set out.
Before you leave Udaipur:
- 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.
- 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.
Why Udaipur Patients Are Referred to Ahmedabad
Southern Rajasthan’s healthcare infrastructure is developing rapidly, but subspecialist gynaecological oncosurgery requires a critical mass of surgical volume, multidisciplinary infrastructure, and advanced surgical platforms that are concentrated in larger centres. Udaipur patients are referred to Ahmedabad for:
- Ovarian cancer — cytoreductive surgery, HIPEC, and PIPAC require specialist infrastructure and a trained peritoneal surface malignancy team
- Cervical cancer — radical hysterectomy, trachelectomy, and sentinel lymph node mapping require fellowship-trained surgical expertise
- Robotic surgery — keyhole surgery using the da Vinci robot, suitable for most early womb (endometrial) cancers and selected early ovarian cancers. It is not used for advanced ovarian cancer. For most early cervical cancers, open radical hysterectomy remains the standard, because a large trial (LACC, 2018) found worse survival with keyhole or robotic surgery; a minimally invasive approach is considered only for selected small tumours after discussing this evidence.
- Complex or recurrent disease — multi-visceral surgery, re-do procedures, and cases requiring multidisciplinary tumour board input
- Second opinions — patients who have received a treatment plan from a general surgeon or gynaecologist and want independent subspecialist review
Because Ahmedabad is roughly 260 km away, specialist care is within reach without the longer journey to Delhi or Mumbai.
Coordinating Care Between Udaipur and Ahmedabad
The care pathway for Udaipur patients is streamlined to minimise travel:
- Initial contact — call +91 76988 00333 or send reports via WhatsApp for preliminary review and visit planning
- Consultation — in-person review in Ahmedabad with all reports, imaging CDs, and pathology slides.
- Pre-operative workup — some tests, such as blood tests and an ECG, can often be done in Udaipur before you travel for surgery, if the team advises it
- Surgery — performed in Ahmedabad. The hospital stay depends on the operation, from a few days after keyhole surgery to about 10–14 days after major surgery for advanced ovarian cancer. Families arrange their own stay nearby; Ahmedabad has hotels and guest houses at different budgets.
- Adjuvant treatment (treatment after surgery) — chemotherapy, or radiotherapy (sikai), can often be given in Udaipur by the treating oncologist, in coordination with Dr. Nishtha
- Follow-up — the first check after surgery is in Ahmedabad. Some later routine check-ups may be shared with your doctor in Udaipur; you would still come to Ahmedabad for treatment decisions, new symptoms or a worrying scan.
To arrange an Ahmedabad appointment, book online or contact the practice on +91 76988 00333 (call or WhatsApp). No referral letter is needed.
