Kozhikode, May 25: Aster MIMS Kozhikode, a super-specialty hospital in Kerala, became the first hospital in India to successfully complete 3,000 thyroid pinhole procedures. The pinhole procedure is a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive medical technique where thyroid nodules or tumors are ablated using a specialized needle, eliminating the need for major open surgeries, long hospital stays, or unsightly scars on the neck.
Dr. Gopinath Mampallikkalam, Chief Operating Officer, Aster MIMS Kozhikode, said
“The primary mission of Aster MIMS has always been to make international-quality medical care accessible to the common man. Through this simple and advanced procedure, we have been able to provide immense relief to nearly 3,000 patients who were otherwise terrified of undergoing major surgeries. This national milestone is a direct reflection of the absolute trust that the people of Malabar have reposed in this institution for the past quarter of a century.”
Patients who underwent the procedure noted that the pinhole treatment served as an excellent alternative to conventional surgeries, allowing them to resume their normal routine within a remarkably short period of time.
Aster MIMS Kozhikode, which has remained a pivotal force in the healthcare sector for the past 25 years, continues to lead from the front in delivering global standards of clinical excellence at the local level. Hospital authorities reiterated their commitment to introducing more advanced and less complicated medical treatments at affordable rates for the public.
