Thiruvananthapuram: KIMSHEALTH doctors successfully conducted minimally invasive surgery to remove a tumor from the adrenal gland of an 11-month-old child from Kollam who had been experiencing incessant crying. Dr. Sanuja Titus Santosh, Senior Consultant in the Department of Pediatrics, diagnosed the tumor with ultrasound, and further confirmed it with a CT scan. The tumor was situated on the right adrenal gland, above the right kidney, near major blood vessels and the liver. Using the Posterior Retroperitoneoscopic Method, the medical team removed the tumor through a small keyhole incision on the baby's back while she lay prone under anesthesia, completing the surgery in two and a half hours. This approach allowed the surgery to be performed without entering the abdomen or disturbing surrounding organs. According to Dr. Reju Joseph Thomas, senior consultant pediatric minimal access surgeon, the child was able to eat and drink on the same evening and was sitting up and playing the very next day.

A new English-language documentary, “Ayurveda – The Double Helix of Life,” is set to premiere on June 11 in New Delhi, with a special screening at the Film Division Theatre. The film is directed by national award–winner Vinod Mankara and produced by Dr. A V Anoop under the A V A Productions banner, in collaboration with the Ayurvedic Medicine Manufacturers Organisation of India.
Clocking in at around 90 minutes, the docu‑film explores how Ayurveda can complement modern medicine, especially in treating conditions like infertility, renal stones, diabetic neuropathy, and even Parkinson’s disease in Germany. It moves from traditional medicine-making practices to recent clinical breakthroughs such as rejuvenating skin treatments and slow-release pharmaceutical pads. Mankara, who also scripted the film, emphasises that the goal is to present Ayurveda as a scientifically valid system, not merely ancient tradition.
Featuring commentary from 52 experts—including doctors, scientists, and officials from the World Health Organization—the documentary aims to counter misinformation and highlight ongoing research in integrative medicine. Officials expected at the premiere include Minister of State for Ayush and Health Prataprao Jadhav and Ayush Secretary Rajesh Kotecha. The film will be shown in multiple countries, aiming to raise global awareness of Ayurveda’s scientific potential.
