A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. At our program, we provide expert diagnosis and treatment for all types of hernia, helping patients return to daily life with less pain and improved function.
Comprehensive Hernia Treatment
Our team, specializing in general surgery, offers personalized care based on the type and severity of your hernia. We treat a full range of conditions, including:
- Inguinal hernias (groin)
- Umbilical hernias (belly button)
- Incisional hernias (from prior surgery)
- Ventral and complex abdominal wall hernias
Advanced Surgical Options
When surgery is needed, we use the latest techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes. These include:
- Open hernia repair
- Laparoscopic (minimally invasive) repair
- Robotic-assisted surgery
Our surgeons also have expertise in abdominal wall reconstruction for complex or recurrent hernias, allowing for durable repair and restoration of abdominal strength.
Mesh Complication & Salvage Expertise
Patients with mesh-related complications often need a different kind of evaluation and a careful surgical plan.
Our team specializes in:
- infected mesh
- chronic pain after mesh repair
- mesh migration or erosion
- recurrent hernia after mesh repair
- complex reconstruction after mesh removal
Enhanced Recovery and Coordinated Follow-Up
We use evidence-based recovery pathways and communicate clearly with patients and referring clinicians to ensure a safe and quick post-op recovery.
Expertise in Minimally Invasive and Robotic Hernia Surgery
Many hernias can be repaired using minimally invasive techniques. Our team of board-certified general surgeons specialize in minimally invasive hernia repair including both laparoscopic and robotic approaches.
When appropriate, minimally invasive and robotic surgery may offer:
- smaller incisions
- less postoperative pain
- lower wound complication risk
- faster return to activity
- shorter length of stay for select patients
Our team uses the approach that best matches the patient’s anatomy, hernia complexity, prior surgical history, and overall risk profile.
Complex Abdominal Wall Reconstruction
Our surgeons perform advanced techniques for advanced abdominal wall disease, including component separation and complex abdominal wall reconstruction.
