I offer private assessment and surgical treatment for groin and abdominal wall hernias, including inguinal, femoral, umbilical, incisional, recurrent and complex hernias. Surgery is tailored to the individual patient, balancing durability, recovery, and risk.

Approaches offered

• Keyhole (laparoscopic) hernia repair where appropriate
• Open hernia repair
• Complex and recurrent hernia assessment

Common questions

• How quickly can I be seen? Private clinics aim for fast access via the Nuffield diary.
• Will I need mesh? Often, yes — the best approach depends on hernia type and circumstances.
• When can I return to activity? This depends on technique and your job; you’ll receive personalised advice.
• What if my hernia becomes painful suddenly? Seek urgent assessment (NHS 111/999).
