Patient Guide

What to expect from consultation through recovery. Designed for clarity and peace of mind.

Consultation

We confirm diagnosis, assess symptoms and risks, and discuss the approach that best fits your hernia and goals.

Choosing the technique

Laparoscopic (keyhole) is often preferred where suitable. Open repair is used when it offers best results. Selected robotic cases are considered for complex abdominal wall hernias.

Mesh discussion

Mesh can reduce recurrence in many repairs but is not mandatory for everyone. Benefits, risks and alternatives are explained clearly.

Recovery

Same-day discharge

Many patients go home the same day, depending on the operation and your medical history.

Back to normal

Light activity within days. Return to work often 1–3 weeks, depending on your job.

Support

Clear written instructions and a direct route back to the team if you have concerns.
