Minimally Invasive Surgery for Hernias.

About Hernia Surgery

Hernias form when an organ pushes through the muscle or tissue that holds the organ in place. Most hernias eventually require surgical repair to avoid further complications and discomfort. During the procedure, a surgeon will put the organs and tissue back in place and reinforce the tissue to avoid a second hernia in the same location.

Other hernia sugeries are performed with robotic assistance, a laparoscopic procedure where the physician works at a console to drive the surgical technology. Both options offer shorter hospital stays and recovery time, as well as minimal scarring. . Patients typically return home the same day as surgery and benefit from:
