CODS Woman

Women, all over the world, tend to neglect their own health while focusing on the health of their family. Cultural barriers and societal prejudices prevent them from seeking timely healthcare advice. Lack of awareness and delay in seeking treatment can sometimes lead to undue consequences.

Till date, women's healthcare has been identified mainly with reproductive health and diseases of the breast. But women are as prone to surgical diseases as men are. Still, there is a severe lack of healthcare facilities that focus on other ailments in women like hernia, acid reflux disease, obesity, piles, cancers of the stomach and intestines etc.

CODS Woman is a healthcare facility dedicated exclusively to the treatment of gastrointestinal problems in women. It is a unique service that seeks to fill this void in women's healthcare and promises to be a Women for Women practice.

Single Incision Surgery (Scar less surgery)

Single Incision Surgery has arrived as a boon for millions of women who detest ugly surgical scars on their tummies. As the name suggests, this surgery is performed through a single incision in the navel and is a ‘scar less’ procedure as the scar gets hidden deep in the navel (the bikini can be your best friend again!).

Single Incision Surgery requires a lot of skill and precision from the surgeon. Very few surgeons in the world have the skill set to perform these surgeries. The following surgeries can be done by the scar less approach at CODS Woman:

Weight loss/bariatric surgery
Gall bladder surgery
Appendectomy
Surgery for hiatus hernia (Fundoplication)
