Laparoscopic hernia repair has made major advances in recent years, leading to a smoother and safer recovery, minimizing recurrence and making treatment possible for hernias previously considered not repairable. Using the advanced minimally invasive procedures, da Vinci robotic and laparoscopic technologies, the Hernia Center will repair your hernia through tiny incisions in a procedure that can take as little as fifteen minutes. This method of hernia repair is often an outpatient procedure and makes it possible for you to return to your normal activities in a shorter amount of time.

The Hernia Center’s group of surgeons are adept in using the newest hernia repair techniques and materials. The Hernia Center’s team routinely consults on and repair inguinal and ventral hernias that may develop due to a number of factors, including obesity, aging, and strenuous physical activity requiring heavy lifting, such as construction work. Certain rare conditions such as genetic defects involving connective tissue may also cause abdominal hernias. Hernias, if left untreated can be painful, compromise lifestyle, and in some cases are dangerous.
