There are several things to consider.  One, you should be able to call your PS office directly and his staff should be able to tell you how long this will take.  Second, are you having surgery at a hospital or stand alone surgery center.  Arrival time to discharge time at a hospital is usually longer.  Thirdly, each surgeon has their own way of operating and technique.  It may take one surgeon 5 hours to do this surgery where it only takes me around 2.5 to 3 depending on the patient.

Dear  preoprhino, Depending on the surgeon and the techniques used you will have varying times. In my practice a combined primary procedure is typically two to two and a half hours. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
