Peritoneal cancer surgery with HIPEC at Mar Sleeva Medicity Palai in Kottayam, Kerala treats cancers that have spread to the peritoneum, the lining of the abdominal cavity. Cytoreductive surgery removes visible tumour deposits, after which heated chemotherapy is circulated directly within the abdominal cavity.
The combination is used for selected peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, gastric cancer and other peritoneal malignancies. Peritonectomy, omentectomy and debulking are performed as part of the same approach. This is a long operation with a significant physiological demand, and it is supported by dedicated perioperative critical care.
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.
