I had hernia surgery under the care of Mr Thomas Satyadas and his anaesthetist Dr Darshan Pathak at the end of September 2018. My operations were expertly conducted at the Alexandra Hospital and my care was excellent throughout. Two inguinal hernias were repaired with mesh using a laparoscopic technique and an umbilical hernia was fixed at the same time. As an anaesthetist myself, I appreciated a pain free wake up with no nausea or vomiting thanks to the use of local anaesthetic infiltration by the surgeon and the use of oxycodone (as an alternative to morphine) by the anaesthetist. My nursing care on the busy ward was also excellent and the food was good. I was driven home to Yorkshire by my wife later that day. I needed no codeine for post-operative pain relief just paracetamol and the occasional ibuprofen. I was walking around my local park the next day and the wounds healed quickly without infection. In fact I was back at work after one week. I have no hesitation in recommending the whole team and am grateful to Thomas and Darshan for looking after me so well.
