How is a Hernia repaired?

Mr Kirkby-Bott will work with you to choose the best approach of two methods:
He specialises in Open Repair using Local Anaesthetic and Sedation
He is also highly experienced in Laparoscopic Repair using General Anaesthetic

Local Anaesthetic Procedure

Open repair using local anaesthetic and sedation makes hernia surgery accessible to patients of all ages and health conditions.

General Anaesthetic Procedure

Laparoscopic repair, also known as keyhole repair, can in some instances better suit certain patients.
Mr Kirkby-Bott will discuss with you if/when you should have your hernia repaired, the best approach and how to get the most out of your surgery. He aims to get you back to the things that matter without your hernia holding you back.

“Local anaesthetic, no discomfort, felt very relaxed throughout – almost euphoric, but that feeling maybe because my problem was being solved. Good aftercare including guidance on how to recover quickly. Discharged same day. No subsequent problems.”
