Martin Kurzer

Written by a patient at St John & St Elizabeth Hospital

As an extremely anxious patient it was difficult for me to contemplate having surgery for my Bilateral inguinal hernia's, despite the obvious fact that no treatment was not a long term option due to the increasing discomfort and life style limitations caused by them. At the initial consultation Mr Kurzers calm and approachable manner together with his wealth of knowledge and experience helped me to decide to go ahead with the surgery last week. It went very smoothly under a local anaesthetic with sedation and I slept through it all without any problems. The aftercare was faultless and Martin is always contactable to discuss any issues or concerns that you may have post op. The patient's post op instructions of what to expect post op is very helpful and nine day's onwards the recovery is going as planned. Thank you Martin for your kind approach and holistic understanding of me and my previous medical history. Steve J.

I went to Mr. Kurzer with a hernia. He did not press me for treatment and left it to me when to move forwards with an operation. I am a very nervous patient, but he well put my fears to rest and the actual operation went so smoothly. I expected some pain, but have been amazed that have had virtually none. After one day I even stopped taking pain killers. The cost of the treatment was worth ever penny. Thank you Mr. Kurzer!

Mr Kurzer was welcoming, efficient and reassuring from the first consultation through to post operation follow up. He ensured he understood my medical background and explained the procedure carefully and was available via e mail and phone for any follow up questions, the operation itself was scheduled quickly and conveniently. I was delighted by the surgery standard and follow up care, most notably very little bruising or scaring which I put down to good his good procedures. I cannot recommend Mr Kurzer highly enough.

Very impressed with Mr Kurzer - went down to London for the initial consultation, booked in for the hernia operation mid March, and this was carried out under general anaesthetic as mine was quite a large hernia. Felt fine that day, no pain when sitting, just painful to get out of bed and go to the toilet, but that was expected. Stayed overnight because of my other medical condition and travelled back home the next day after seeing Mr Kurzer that morning. The discomfort that day was quite a bit worse, but not unbearable, and I didn't need strong painkillers. Once home it was a bit difficult getting into bed/out of bed and in and out of chairs, pulling on socks and underwear etc.for the next day or so, but this eased gradually. I did experience fluid retention below the wound area and some bruising, but again this diminished gradually over the next week or so and I was soon driving again. Walking initially was slightly uncomfortable because of the fluid retention, but 2 weeks on from the operation I feel fine, have no discomfort, just a little tenderness around the wound when pressed which is to be expected. I am trying not to do too much as there is a tendency to want to carry on as normal, but I expect to resume my Pilates classes in May and go for longer walks soon. I am so pleased I did my research and chose Mr Kurzer to carry out this operation, he is very kind and approachable, highly regarded by his staff and I can highly recommend anyone considering this operation, to go ahead. Mr Kurzer also contacted me after my return home to check all was well, and this was appreciated.

I had a Bilateral Inguinal Hernia Surgery, carried out by Mr. Kurzer, on 6th March 2017. I was very satisfied with the result and everything is healing very nicely. Mr. Kurzer at the first meeting explained everything very clearly and I was confident about the outcome from the start. He was an excellent surgeon and clearly a specialist in this field. I would definitely recommend Mr. Kurzer for hernia repairs.
