About the clinic
Inguinal hernia repair at WILMED Medical Clinic in Warsaw, Poland, focuses on minimally invasive techniques that allow for rapid recovery. An online consultation with a surgeon may cost around $120, while open mesh repair typically runs $2,400–$5,100 and laparoscopic surgery is around $2,900–$6,100. The clinic is ISAPS-accredited and has operated its own modern surgical facility since 2016.
Diagnostic and consultation options
Patients can start their treatment plan from home before traveling to Warsaw. The clinic provides options for initial assessment and surgical planning to help patients understand their condition. During a consultation, a surgeon evaluates the hernia and determines the most suitable repair method.
- Free online consultation. This preliminary review helps patients get initial feedback on their case.
- Online surgical consultation. A more detailed session with a surgeon costs around $120 to confirm the diagnosis.
- In-person surgical consultation. A face-to-face meeting at the clinic for a final physical examination before the procedure.
Treatment methods and surgery
General surgery specialist MD Piotr Ciszewski leads the surgical team at the clinic. MD Piotr Ciszewski serves as the hospital director and specializes in both general and aesthetic surgery. The clinic performs hernia repairs on a day-case basis, meaning patients are usually discharged the same day as their operation.
- Open tension-free hernia repair. This method uses the Lichtenstein technique. The surgeon places a polypropylene mesh to reinforce the abdominal wall without pulling tissues together. This tension-free approach results in a recurrence rate of less than 1% and allows patients to return to normal activities in about 7 days.
- Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Using TAPP or TEPP techniques, the surgeon repairs the hernia through small incisions. This minimally invasive option reduces postoperative pain and is often recommended for patients with hernias on both sides or recurrent cases.
What is included in the treatment
The clinic provides a package for surgical patients to help manage the logistics of a medical trip. The cost typically covers the medical necessities for the procedure day. Patients should plan for their own flights and extra hotel nights if they wish to stay in Warsaw longer after discharge.
- Hospital stay. Accommodation is provided on a day-case basis within the clinic.
- Anesthesia. The team uses less burdensome anesthesia, often local anesthesia combined with sedation.
- Medical materials. The price includes the polypropylene mesh and all necessary surgical supplies.

Hello.
First of all, I’d like to point out that I’m 68 years old and, by nature, I’m a fairly demanding person—both when it comes to the organization of a company’s operations, literal convenience, and also personal conversations.
That’s why, with such requirements, the assessment posted here will be very reliable and will highlight real experiences.
Due to health reasons (quite urgent to carry out), I had to undergo surgery for two hernias: the umbilical and the left inguinal hernia.
Because the waiting time for a consultation and surgery under NFZ in public facilities was very long, my choice fell on Centrum Medyczne WILMED in Warsaw Wilanów at Wiktorii Wiedeńskiej 9A—and I’ll tell you right away: it was absolutely the right decision!
Right from my first contact with the Reception to check the situation and arrange a date for the surgical consultation, I was very pleasantly surprised. The conversation was friendly and specific, and the consultation date was available the very next day!
The next day, the conversation with the surgeon—specifically the Head of the Clinic, Dr. Piotr Ciszewski—was also very pleasant, and I would say it created a relaxing atmosphere that helped relieve the stress and nervousness that are completely normal in such a situation.
After examining me, Dr. [the doctor] referred me to the very lovely Ms. Aneta, who serves as the coordinator and “brain” of the Clinic, in order to discuss the surgery date, the requirements, and the necessary pre-op tests.
The surgery appointment was simply unbelievable (and time mattered to me)—for Wednesday the following week, and on Friday of that same week the Clinic performed the remaining tests that were needed for the surgery.
Efficient and professional, with a thorough portion of information.
The tests on Friday were incredibly fast, and surgery on Wednesday was confirmed (after the anesthesiologist’s approval).
Surgery on Wednesday, still after another conversation with the anesthesiologist, in very good conditions, performed by a very kind and professional staff.
Don’t believe it, but even before the surgery there was a choice from the menu of what I would like to eat for a later dinner, and in the morning the next day for breakfast. The food was very good and served at the agreed time.
Night care was wonderful. Two very lovely ladies, Ms. Magda and Ms. Ola, checked on me very often during the night and asked whether I needed anything and whether the room temperature was OK.
In my room—by design it was intended to be for two people—I was alone, while another patient was alone in another two-person room.
In the morning, a follow-up visit by Dr. Piotr Ciszewski (the surgeon who operated on me), discussing the post-surgery procedure and setting the date for removing the stitches in 12 days and discharge home.
Everything was superbly and very smoothly handled, with great routine and experience.
I’m already after the stitches have been removed by Dr. Piotr Ciszewski and I’m getting back to my form fairly quickly.
I hope everything will continue to be OK.
This may be long, but this detailed description fully shows my satisfaction with the entire logistical side of the surgery and the full professionalism of the whole WILMED team—and I thank you very much for that!!!
I would especially like to thank Dr. Piotr Ciszewski, Ms. Aneta, Ms. Magda and Ms. Ola, and of course the entire surgery team, including the anesthesiologist.
Warm regards and I wish many further successes in your work at this excellent Clinic and, of course, in your personal lives.

I would sincerely like to recommend this clinic. The procedure was done a few months ago (breast implants), but the opinion is still current. Mr. Piotr Ciszewski is a wonderful specialist, but he is also a kind, lovely person—he talks casually, jokes around, and that really is a rarity. He listens to the patient and her expectations, advises her, but he does everything to make sure the patient is satisfied. The surgery was quite complex because earlier a malignant tumor had been removed from the breast, so that breast was slightly deformed. However, Dr. Ciszewski made it so that the breasts look fantastic, even though I know it was a complicated procedure. The entire service—from reception, through Mrs. Aneta, to the nurses—everyone was friendly and very helpful. The atmosphere is like at home. So thank you very much and I recommend it to everyone—I might also come back someday.

From the first visit, through the surgery, to the final checkup, we felt safe and well-cared for. The staff was incredibly kind, caring, and very helpful. Dr. Ola Starościak is, in my opinion, a surgical virtuoso. Even the physiotherapist was impressed with the results of the surgery. 💝 I'm incredibly impressed and highly recommend this clinic.

From the first visit, through the surgery, to the last follow-up, we felt safe and well taken care of. The staff was kind, caring, and extremely helpful.

With all my heart, I highly recommend Klinikа Wilmed and Doctor Piotr Ciszewski. I’m after an abdominoplasty procedure and the result exceeded my expectations. Already from the very first consultation, I felt cared for, listened to, and I was informed in detail about the course of the operation and the recovery.
Doctor Ciszewski is an exceptionally professional, experienced, and empathetic doctor with a great sense of humor! 😀
He answered all questions patiently, and his calmness and self-confidence gave me an enormous sense of security. The procedure itself went without any complications, and the postoperative care was at the highest level.
The surgical result is fantastic—the abdomen is flat and proportionate, and the scar was made very carefully. The entire clinic staff was kind, helpful, and attentive at every stage of treatment.
Thank you, Doctor Piotr Ciszewski, and the whole Wilmed team for your professionalism, commitment, and for fulfilling my dream of feeling better and improving my appearance. I definitely recommend it to anyone considering abdominoplasty. I will surely come back for more! 😍

I'm very pleased with the clinic :) I've had surgery at Wilmed twice (with Dr. Gackowski, then Dr. Ciszewski) and each time the staff was extremely professional: from the consultation, through scheduling, initial examinations, clarifying my concerns, preparation for the procedure, the surgery itself (which, of course, I slept through, but I saw a positive result afterward ;) ), post-operative care, follow-up, and even the removal of my stitches! :)
Everything was done on time, efficiently, professionally, and with a smile, and most importantly, with a positive outcome and without any problems or complications.
PS.
This may be a detail, but after both surgeries, I received a fresh and delicious meal (photo attached), so that was very nice :P
