Many thanks for your review
The professor was very clear with his instructions as to what he was doing throughout my procedure.
Many thanks
Excision of finger cyst and 5 stitches, completed painlessly within 10 minutes.
Many thanks
I was pleased that my treatment was prompt and appears to have been efficient. I was surprised by lack of pain and the speed of the process. I was very pleased to be kept informed about the procedure although I could not see what was happening. From collection in the waiting room through the treatment and in the patient information letter, I was kept well-informed with clear advice about aftercare and how to deal with any problems. Thanks to Professor Youssef and his assistant.
Many thanks
Prof Youssef operated on me to fix an inguinal hernia (in fact direct and indirect) using laparoscopy. He explained the mesh was about the area of a mobile phone case due to the size of my hernia. He works closely with anaesthetists he knows well. Having never had a general anaesthetic I was a bit nervous but I have to say it was so stress free and easy. I was in the theatre before 9am and heading home just after 2pm. I woke up feeling fine, just like having had a nap. After the operation my pain was less than I expected and, one month on, whilst I am still not doing anything too strenuous (as per advice), in my day to day life (including by driving and commuting) I have pretty much forgotten I had the operation. I am not sure all “hernia surgeons” have the skill and experience to perform my operation laparoscopically (the alternative being a larger external incision). I would recommend Prof Youssef to anyone needing a hernia operation, and say to them, “don’t worry, you are putting yourself in the safe hands of excellent surgeon”. If I develop a hernia on the other side in the future (which he also checked during the operation) I won’t hesitate to get in touch with Prof Youssef, nor will I be concerned about the operation or the recovery, given the positive experience.
Many thanks for your nice review All the best
