Hernia surgery: your procedure
Your visit
You can usually leave hospital on the same day as your surgery. You may need to stay overnight if you have other medical conditions, live alone or if your procedure is performed later in the day. If so, you’ll have one of our 28 en-suite private rooms, which will have:
- TV
- Window
- Private en-suite bathroom
- Armchair
- WiFi
If you’re able to go home on the same day, you can relax in a private room until you’re ready to leave – as soon as you're able to pass water after surgery.
The operation
During the operation, you’ll have either:
- A general anaesthetic, meaning you’ll be asleep
- A spinal or local anaesthetic, meaning you’ll be awake but unable to feel anything in the region being operated on
Hernia repair surgery typically takes less than one hour.
Hernia surgery: your recovery
Pain after hernia surgery
You’re likely to feel some soreness and discomfort once your anaesthetic wears off. Everyone experiences pain differently, and our nurses will be able to give you painkillers to help you manage it.
Recovery time
You should be back to your normal activities in around six weeks. You’ll have a follow-up appointment with your consultant around three to six weeks after your surgery.
Your consultant will be able to advise you on your expected recovery time, but as a guide, here’s a typical recovery timeline:
