SK Hospital

SK Hospital situated at Edappanzhanji is facilitating effective treatment for Hernia through Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeries. Hernia is one of the most common surgical problems afflicting the general population. Being a mechanical weakness of the muscles, the treatment of hernia is always surgical. Open Surgery and Laparoscopic Surgery are two surgical options.

In open surgery a 10-12cm long wound is made over the hernia site, tissues stretched apart, hernia repaired and augmented with ‘mesh’ made of inert material. In laparoscopic repair, through a small (1cm) wound at the belly button, through which a medical telescope is introduced, the surgeon views the hernia from the inside and repairs it, again augmenting the repair with a ‘mesh’. Since, in laparoscopy the external wound is much smaller (1cm as compared to 12cm), the post operative pain, chance for infection, blood loss etc are much less. Less hospitalisation is required in case of laparoscopic repair. However, laparoscopic hernia repair is a highly skilled procedure and should be done by an Advanced laparoscopic surgeon with adequate training and experience. SK Hospital is proud to have Dr. Koshy George MS (Gen. Surgery), Dip, Lap, Advanced Laparoscopic & Bariatric (Obesity) surgeon in its team.
