Smiles International Institute of Coloproctology: Re-defining Colorectal Treatments with Minimally Invasive, Painless, Blood Less and Cost Effective Procedures
Dr.Parameshwar CM
CEO
In 2015, India was termed one of the low-cost yet highest quality centers of all medical tourism destinations. The country received the highest number of foreign and domestic patients for critical treatments spanned across diverse medical conditions to centers in major cities like Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore and NCR. Among these critical treatments, more than one million annually were colorectal problems, but the facilities to treat it were highly limited. While these limited facilities posed as a challenge, the cost of treatments too caused holes in the pockets of patients. But during the December of 2014, Dr.Parameshwar CM(CEO,Smiles International Institute of Coloproctology, who has successfully performed over 16,000 procedures for various colorectal disorders with industry leading success rate), a then general surgeon, experienced a journey that changed the face of treatment for this disease that affects at least 50 percent of the population once in their lifetime.
Approached by a friend who was suffering from simple Hemorrhoids to suggest a time-restricted treatment to get back to work soon after, Dr. Parameshwar started his search to find the most suitable
doctor. During the research, Dr. Parameshwar recognized the dearth of good colorectal surgeons and well established treatments into the country. He then took-up training in Germany & Italy to gain in-depth knowledge on the latest technologies and best treatment processes for treating the disease. Smiles International Institute of Coloproctology(SIICP) was born as a result, becoming India’s first unrivaled super-specialized hospital for treating colorectal disorders like Piles, Constipation, IBS,IBD,Fissure & Fistula; others being Rectal Prolapse, Pilonidal Rectal Prolapse and Digestive Diseases.
