Inguinal Hernia Repair
The most common hernia — open repair under local anaesthetic at our Lincoln facility.
An inguinal hernia occurs when tissue — usually part of the intestine — pushes through a weak spot in the groin muscles. It is the most common type of hernia and is more prevalent in men. Open repair under local anaesthetic is a safe, effective day-case procedure.
All treatments begin with a medical assessment
Every patient is seen by our onsite doctor partner, Aega Health, before any procedure. This 15-minute assessment (£150) includes full clinical assessment, diagnosis, suitability review, and consent, ensuring your care is safe and tailored to you.
