Urology | Mar Sleeva Medicity Palai

Mar Sleeva

Cancer Care & Research Centre

World-Class Cancer Centre in Kerala with Compassion, Innovation, and Holistic Support.

The Centre of Excellence in Urology at Mar Sleeva Medicity Palai provides comprehensive urological care for patients across Kottayam and Central Kerala. From kidney stones and prostate disease to urological cancers and kidney transplantation, the centre brings together medical and surgical expertise to manage both routine and complex urological conditions under one roof.

Advanced stone treatment enables the management of kidney and ureteric stones without conventional open surgery, using laser lithotripsy, RIRS, PCNL, and ureteroscopy. Prostate conditions are treated using laser surgery and minimally invasive techniques, while urological cancers involving the kidney, bladder, prostate, and testis are managed through specialised surgical and medical care. The kidney transplantation programme brings urology and nephrology teams together for comprehensive transplant care.

Experienced urologists and surgeons provide specialised care across endourology, laparoscopic surgery, uro oncology, reconstructive urology, paediatric urology, and renal transplantation. With advanced surgical technology and multidisciplinary support, the centre provides coordinated urological care from initial diagnosis and treatment planning through complex surgery and long term follow up.
