    The costs are on his website and obviously it depends on the size and complexity of the hernia but for a small Inguinal hernia like mine it was £2,100 which was covered by my works health insurance scheme!

    Hi William,

    I only know I had a local anaesthetic and was awake during the procedure (obviously I didn’t feel a thing!)

    I did look at the Shouldice and Desarda repairs but couldn’t find anyone offering these in the UK (I didn’t want to travel abroad) and these types of repair are expensive too!

    I did my research online and read that the Bassini was as effective as the Shouldice and Desarda in terms of failure rates as well as mesh repairs with small hernias (which I had).

    I live an hours drive from Oxford so this was also a factor in my decision.

    Since the Operation I have had no pain or discomfort at all (After the first week) so I am extremely happy to recommend Dr Sadler and his team, definitely add him to your shortlist!

    If you look at the info booklet on his website he does offer a non mesh Bassini type repair, this is what I went with.

    I was in and out of the hospital in a couple of hours and have had no pain or problems with the repair I am really happy with the outcome!

    A very resonance price too, check out his reviews they are all excellent!

    Hi Chappers,

    I am also in the UK and recently (4 months ago) had a mesh free Inguinal hernia repair done by Dr Greg Sadler at the Oxford Hernia Clinic and can highly recommend.

    Take a look at his website at oxfordherniaclinic.com
