The World Standard in Keyhole Surgery — Right Here in Kerala

Sunrise Group of Hospitals is home to one of the world's most distinguished centres for minimally invasive surgery. Led by Dr. Hafeez Rahman Padiyath — who holds the global record for laparoscopic hysterectomies with 35,000+ procedures performed — our MIS department has redefined what is surgically possible in South India and beyond. Keyhole surgery means smaller incisions, significantly less pain, faster recovery, and a quicker return to normal life. At Sunrise, this approach is not just an option — it is our standard. We were among the first in India to perform laparoscopic oncosurgery, the first in Kerala to broadcast live surgery, and our team continues to pioneer techniques that are subsequently adopted across the country.

Faq

Minimally invasive surgery, or keyhole surgery, uses small incisions and a tiny camera to perform complex operations inside the body. Compared to open surgery, patients experience less pain, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster return to daily activities.

Yes. At Sunrise, laparoscopic surgery is performed by specialists with decades of experience and thousands of procedures completed. Our operation theatres are HEPA-filtered, fully monitored, and equipped with the latest generation of laparoscopic technology.

Most patients are walking within 24 hours and return home in 1–3 days. Full recovery for most laparoscopic procedures is 1–2 weeks — significantly faster than open surgery.

Not all, but the majority of gynaecological, gastrointestinal, and abdominal surgeries can. Your surgeon will assess your individual case and recommend the safest and most effective approach.
