Our surgeons are skilled in both minimally invasive and traditional surgical repairs for all types of hernias.
We offer both minimally invasive and traditional surgical repair for all types of hernias. This relatively common condition occurs when an internal organ in the abdomen or groin pushes through the muscle or tissue containing it. Patients with a hernia may notice a bulge or pain at the site of the organ protrusion or discomfort in the abdomen or groin during activity.
Our surgical team adopts a multidisciplinary approach, uniting physicians from general surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery and bariatric surgery. Together, we offer patients an individualized hernia repair plan that delivers the best possible functional and cosmetic results.
Some hernias may be present at birth. Others may develop over time due to age-related muscle weakness or an injury from repetitive sports or workplace activities, including heavy lifting.
Most hernias require surgical repair to close and secure the existing abdominal wall opening and to prevent hernia reoccurrence.
Our surgeons are skilled at performing all types of hernia repairs, including:
Our providers determine the appropriate surgical repair technique — whether traditional open surgery or a minimally invasive robotic or laparoscopic approach — depending on each patient’s care needs. Decisions regarding treatment strategy may depend on the location and severity of the hernia, the age and activity level of the patient, or other co-existing health considerations.
Hernia surgery recovery time varies, depending on the severity or location of the hernia and the type of surgical repair. In general, patients undergoing minimally invasive surgical repairs can expect to return to non-strenuous activities within a few days after their procedure.
