Our providers offer laparoscopic hernia repair for the minimally invasive treatment of abdominal wall hernias.
We offer both minimally invasive and traditional surgical repair for all types of hernias. A hernia occurs when an internal organ pushes through a defect or opening in the surrounding muscle or tissue.
Most hernias require surgical repair to close the site of the gap, sometimes called an abdominal wall defect. Our providers offer several minimally invasive hernia repair procedures, including laparoscopic hernia repair.
In laparoscopic hernia repair, surgeons close and correct the abdominal wall defect using small abdominal incisions and a laparoscope, a thin tube equipped with a light and lens. During the procedure, surgeons manipulate, cut and sew abdominal tissue to repair the opening with small instruments inserted through the tube.
Before completing the procedure, the surgeon may use the laparoscope to place surgical mesh over the damaged portion of the abdominal wall. The mesh reinforces the repaired muscle and surrounding tissue, helping to prevent future hernias at the site.
Laparoscopic hernia repair is a minimally invasive, effective hernia treatment that involves smaller incisions and a shorter recovery time than traditional open surgery.
This procedure is effective for treating many types of hernias, including:
Our providers will evaluate the location and severity of your hernia to determine whether you may be a candidate for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, a laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair or other laparoscopic procedure.
Many patients can return to non-strenuous activities just a few days after a laparoscopic hernia repair.
Our surgeons are skilled in treating all types of abdominal wall hernia defects, including inguinal, femoral, incisional, umbilical, hiatal and athletic pubalgia (sports) hernias.
Our surgeons are specially trained in advanced, minimally invasive, laparoscopic and robotic surgery techniques.
You can count on us to be by your side every step of the way as you navigate diagnosis, surgery and recovery.
