Have had friends that had it done a couple of years back and one about 3 years ago, he had keyhole surgery while the others had surgery.
I waited for the keyhople guy outside while he was being loooked after, took about an hour in all but the ' job ' itself took about 20 minutes, I was intrigued as I think most guys would be.
Keyhole surgery, minor discomfort at best, I brought him home and he wanted to go for a pint before we got to his house so he couldn't be too sore, he was back at work the next morning, no complaints.
