Around 2-4 hours: The actual repair doesn't take that long, but the things before and after do like seeing the anesthesiologist, getting the anesthesia, recovering from the anesthesia, transporting the patient to the recovery area and waiting for the sedating medications to wean off

An hour or so: Surgery can take 1-2 hours. Talk to the staff and they can update you on the progress
