Now, the General surgery department has 5 surgeons headed by Dr. Sabu Jeyasekharan. So far more than a hundred thousand surgeries have been performed. The surgery department does various kinds surgeries including complex open, laparoscopic and laser surgeries.
Out-patients are seen on all days except Sundays whereas emergency service is provided 24×7. Minor trauma care and minor procedures are done in ER as a day procedure. Major trauma, acute abdominal pain, patients with septicaemia etc are admitted and treated in our dedicated SICU (Surgical Intensive Care Unit). Patients who require emergency surgeries are stabilised in SICU and then transferred to OR. After major surgeries, patients are taken care in our Post-operative HDU (High Dependency Unit).
Though we perform surgeries every day, our elective surgery days are Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We have state of the art OR complex with hepafilters, advanced HD laparoscopy units, latest HD endoscopy units for upper and lower GI-scopy and latest Laser unit for proctology, varicose veins and gynaecological procedures.
The “WCC” is the Wound Care Centre created by our founder, exclusively for wound management where many limbs and lives have been saved. These days Diabetes has become rampant and diabetic foot has become major health care burden to the community. An early detection of diabetic foot ulcers, neuropathy and PVD can prevent limb losses. We have a dedicated Podiatric surgery unit to take care of diabetic foot.
