Hernia surgery at Mar Sleeva Medicity Palai in Kottayam, Kerala covers hernias of the abdominal wall and diaphragm, repaired laparoscopically wherever the case allows. Laparoscopic repair uses small incisions and may offer advantages such as reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay and faster recovery in appropriately selected patients.
Repair is carried out by the surgical gastroenterology team as part of the wider minimally invasive and advanced gastrointestinal surgery service, with open surgery available where the hernia or the patient makes that the safer approach.
The Department of Gastro Sciences provides comprehensive care for gastrointestinal, liver and pancreatic conditions, with advanced endoscopy, colonoscopy and hepatology services

The department manages the full spectrum of gastrointestinal, hepatic, pancreatic and biliary conditions. This includes acid reflux disease, peptic ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), irritable bowel syndrome, liver diseases, pancreatitis, gastrointestinal bleeding, gastrointestinal cancers and all conditions requiring diagnostic or therapeutic endoscopy.
Capsule endoscopy involves swallowing a small, vitamin sized capsule containing a tiny camera. As it passes through the digestive tract, it captures thousands of images of the small bowel, an area that is difficult to reach with conventional endoscopy. It is used to evaluate conditions such as obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn’s disease and small bowel tumours.
Most endoscopic procedures are performed under conscious sedation or short general anaesthesia, so patients typically experience minimal discomfort. The gastroenterology team at Mar Sleeva Medicity Palai ensures patient comfort and safety with ICU level monitoring during and after the procedure.
