Introduction
The Department of Surgery was started by Prof. Dr. C. K. Velayuthan Nair, Chairman of Sree Mookambika Institutions in February 1986, in his Foundation nursing home, Velayudhan Pillai Memorial Hospital.
With the eminent faculty being the backbone of the department, we are in prime focus to serve Outpatients, Inpatients and emergencies 24 x 7.
The range of surgeries performed include cancer, gastrointestinal, breast, thyroid and other endocrine surgeries. Advanced head and neck cancer surgery, reconstruction and major abdominal surgeries are also performed. Minimally invasive surgery is one of its strengths with several advanced procedures being done routinely. The surgeons are adept in performing complex abdominal surgeries through the laparoscope.
The hospital’s centrally air-conditioned operation theatre complex has state-of-the-art equipment, adjoined by a sophisticated surgical intensive care unit, using the latest life support systems.
The department also has an upper and lower GI endoscopy unit.
The well-equipped emergency unit follows internationally recognised advanced trauma life support protocols.
