Not completely: During inguinal hernia repair, you will have to be nude from your nipples to your knees. The surgeon needs to have full access to the whole area. Be assured, however, that you will not be made to walk in nude or exposed to any more people than is absolutely necessary. Doctors, nurses, and surgical technologists in the operating room see people partially naked all the time. They are discreet.
