Hernia Repairs

A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue breaks through the surrounding layer of muscle. Hernias are often caused by an injury, and most don’t heal on their own. Since an untreated hernia can cause further health complications, you should seek surgery immediately to remove it.

Common Hernia Symptoms

Hernia repair surgery becomes necessary when you begin experiencing any of the following symptoms:

Your hernia causes pain and discomfort

Your hernia increases in size

You experience fever, nausea, vomiting, and/or constipation

Your tissue becomes damaged or dies due to a lack of blood supply

Types of Hernias We Treat

Our team of general surgeons treat various hernia types.

Inguinal Hernias

This hernia type is one of the most common and develops in the groin area. It occurs when abdominal muscle weakens, allowing a section of the intestine to travel toward the groin area.

Umbilical Hernias

This hernia type is most common in young children and occurs when an organ pushes through weakened abdominal muscles near the belly button.

Ventral Hernias

This hernia type occurs in the abdominal area.

Incisional Hernias

This hernia type occurs near the incision area where surgery was performed previously.

Bochdalek Hernias

Bochdalek hernias occur near the back and are uncommon.

Hiatal Hernias

Hiatal hernias are the most common type of diaphragmatic hernia and occur when part of the stomach goes through the diaphragm muscle toward the chest cavity.

Morgagni Hernias

Like bochdalek hernias, morgagni hernias are rare. They occur near the thoracic cavity when the colon or omentum pushes through the chest cavity.

Benefits of Hernia Repairs

A hernia repair is a common, quick, and safe procedure. They are performed laparoscopic or robotically; both are minimally invasive. Our team of general surgeons are able to perform hernia repair surgery through tiny incisions rather than the large incisions associated with traditional open surgery. The result is less damage to surrounding tissues, less pain for the patient and a much quicker recovery.
