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.

Treatments and procedures
01
Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH)
Complete removal of the uterus through small keyhole incisions, eliminating the need for open surgery and allowing most patients to recover and return home within just a day or two.
02
Laparoscopic Myomectomy
Minimally invasive removal of uterine fibroids while preserving the uterus, making it the preferred option for women who wish to retain their fertility and avoid a full hysterectomy.
03
Laparoscopic Pelvic Floor Repair
Keyhole correction of pelvic organ prolapse that restores normal anatomy and function with far less pain, a much shorter hospital stay, and minimal recovery time compared to open surgery.
04
Laparoscopic Oncosurgery
Cancer surgery performed entirely through small keyhole incisions instead of a large open cut — a pioneering minimally invasive approach to oncological surgery that Sunrise was the first to introduce in Kerala.
05
MR-HIFU for Fibroid Treatment
A completely non-invasive, ultrasound-guided fibroid treatment that shrinks fibroids using focused sound energy without any incision at all — the first hospital to offer this technology in Kerala and South India.
06
Laparoscopic Pelvic Lymphadenectomy
Keyhole removal of pelvic lymph nodes used for accurately staging and effectively treating gynaecological cancers, performed with the same precision as open surgery but with significantly less trauma to the body.
07
Amniopatch
A complex, technically demanding novel procedure for the repair of ruptured foetal membranes during pregnancy, first performed in this region at Sunrise by Dr. Hafeez Rahman and widely covered in regional media.
08
Meshplasty
An advanced mesh-based repair technique developed at Sunrise for complex pelvic floor and hernia conditions, offering durable structural correction where standard repair methods are often not sufficient on their own.
09
Laparoscopic Appendectomy
Keyhole removal of the appendix through a few small incisions, allowing for a much faster recovery, less post-operative pain, and a shorter hospital stay compared to traditional open appendix surgery.
10
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Minimally invasive removal of the gallbladder through small keyhole incisions, one of the most commonly performed laparoscopic procedures, offering quicker healing and a noticeably reduced risk of complications.
11
Laparoscopic Hernia Repair
Keyhole correction of inguinal, umbilical, and incisional hernias using reinforced surgical mesh, providing a strong and lasting repair while keeping scarring, discomfort, and recovery time to an absolute minimum.
12
Bariatric / Weight Loss Surgery
Laparoscopic surgical procedures for the long-term management of obesity, including sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass, performed through keyhole technique to support faster recovery and sustainable, lasting weight loss results.
