About Cumbria Surgical Services

Cumbria surgical services is a private self-pay surgical service in Carlisle, providing selected procedures under local anaesthetic in a community healthcare setting. Its model is designed around straightforward access to experienced surgeons, transparent self-pay fees and same-day discharge without an overnight hospital stay.

The clinic currently specialises in open hernia repair, carpal tunnel treatment and vasectomies. Its surgeons have more than 50 years of combined surgical experience and, according to the clinic, have performed more than 3,000 local-anaesthetic hernia repairs.

Cumbria Surgical Services is aimed at self-paying patients seeking timely assessment and treatment for suitable hernias or carpal tunnel syndrome. A GP referral is not required. Suitability for local-anaesthetic surgery is assessed by the clinical team, and patients whose condition requires a different surgical approach can be directed towards alternative care. Procedures are provided on a walk-in, walk-out basis. Patients remain awake during surgery under local anaesthetic and, following an appropriate period of post-procedure monitoring, return home the same day.

The service focuses on making selected private surgical procedures accessible, straightforward and patient-centred. Its approach combines an initial assessment of suitability with clear discussion of treatment options, local-anaesthetic surgery where appropriate and same-day recovery. Particular emphasis is placed on patient comfort, clear communication and avoiding unnecessary hospital admission.

I was delighted with my recent experience. I was treated at the appointed time and the operation was completed painlessly while the young nurse chatted to me as a diversion. The surgeon gave me a full description of the process and good advice about what to do in the following days.

Initial consultation for hernia repair. The various options for repair were outlined by the consultant, including those not offered by CSS and the pros and cons were explained. My questions were fully answered.

Martin was great in assessing the issue and was very prompt in providing correspondence to my GP practice. The problem has much improved post his consultation and recommendations going forward are in progress. I don't hesitate in recommending Martin to anybody with concerns or issues about surgical options and solutions.

I would highly recommend Mr.White, he combined professionalism and care when explaining the procedure to be carried out. He carefully went through what procedures would take place in great detail and gave the opportunity to ask any questions which might be worrying. I felt that I would be in very capable hands.

I know the email said go up to the 2nd floor but I had missed that or forgotton about it. A sign at the entrance would have been helpful. Odd that the staff at other departments near the front door didn't seem to know anything about the service.

Thank you for highlighting this, it is a fair comment. As a relatively new service in the building, not everyone has become aware of the service we provide (yet!). We are working on making the signage more apparent to help others arriving to see us.

Your trust is our top concern, so providers can't pay to alter or remove reviews.
