Mr Smellie was my surgeon for an umbilical hernia. Having read a great deal about how umbilical hernias are usually performed I was less than enthusiastic to undergo the procedure. That was until, while doing some research on the subject, I found Mr Smellie's website and read several reviews all of which were very positive. Mr Smellie's pioneering procedure which entails undertaking the entire procedure via a small incision inside one's belly button has essentially led to zero visible scarring and no pain at all. The procedure was explained very clearly and the concerns I had regarding what I had read about mesh procedures was very delicately dealt with. Given that the piece of mesh Mr Smellie intended using was in his words 'smaller than a postage stamp', I opted for the mesh procedure. The procedure at the Lister Hospital was as uneventful as one could ever hope for. I admitted myself in the morning and was discharged the same afternoon. Made my own way home. Everyone who dealt with me at the Lister was very professional and friendly. Was up on my feet 2 days later and back at work a few days after that. As per Mr Smellie's recommendation, I started easing back into exercise 2 weeks later and was running slowly again after 4 weeks. I do not hesitate to give Mr Smellie and the Lister the highest possible recommendation.

The staff at the Lister Hospital was wonderful and definitely exceeded my expectations. They have made my procedure much more pleasant and certainly less stressful. I am ever so grateful for their professionalism and care.

I was generally happy with the Lister hospital though unfortunately water did not arrive for quite a while. Most nurses are good and in particular, one senior nurse, Ms. Jennifer Straker was very helpful and compassionate, tending me while I was in pain when the painkiller wore off in the middle of night. She also gave me a good medication straight away. She also gave me advices and a good direction in a discharge letter which helped me a lot.

The 2 nurses who assisted Mr Attar during my cystoscopy were extremely kind and caring and helped to make me feel at ease the whole time

Discharging me today took its time, but I got away after 13:00-14:00 - may be there is a day & timing issue here ? ie two or one day ?
