Transparent, All-Inclusive Pricing for Hernia Surgery
Facing surgery can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re concerned about costs or what to expect during recovery. At the Surgery Center of Oklahoma, we offer all-inclusive, bundled pricing for outpatient procedures like inguinal hernia repair and hydrocelectomy. These surgeries are performed to relieve groin pain and swelling, and to prevent complications from untreated hernias. Our upfront pricing covers everything: your surgeon, the facility, anesthesia, and even your routine follow-up care. You’ll never be surprised by hidden or unexpected medical bills.

What Are These Procedures?
Inguinal Hernia Repair
Inguinal hernia repair is a common outpatient surgery used to fix a weak spot in the groin. The goal is to help you feel comfortable again by getting rid of the ache and visible bulge in your groin. Surgery also protects you from more serious problems by making sure nothing inside your abdomen can get caught or stuck in the weak spot. Your surgeon will choose the best method for you, whether that’s an open procedure or a minimally invasive one.
Hydrocelectomy
Hydrocelectomy is the surgical removal of a fluid-filled sac (hydrocele) surrounding the testicle, often performed in conjunction with hernia repair when both conditions are present, particularly in adult males.
It’s common to have both procedures done at the same time, so you only need one surgery and one recovery period instead of going through the process twice.
Who Is It For?
Adults
Most of our patients are adult men, particularly those with jobs that require a lot of physical activity. If you’ve noticed a bulge or discomfort in your groin, you’re not alone. This is especially common in individuals who engage in heavy lifting or other strenuous physical activities. The good news is, you don’t need insurance to take the next step. You can schedule your surgery directly with us.
Occasionally Children
Pediatric hernia repairs are also performed; however, details and pricing may vary.
Patients without Insurance
Transparent, bundled pricing makes top-tier surgical care accessible regardless of insurance status.
