An estimated 5 million Americans are suffering with a hernia and each year and about one million hernia repairs are performed annually in the U.S. Hernias can cause severe pain and will not get better or repair on their own. Surgery is the only way to correct a hernia. Many people avoid hernia surgery because they mistakenly believe the procedure will require an overnight hospital stay and a lengthy, painful recovery. But left untreated, hernias can result in other serious complications.
Since there are various types of hernias, our surgeons provide a variety of state-of-the-art surgical options, including minimally invasive, outpatient laparoscopic techniques. Minimally invasive laparoscopic hernia repair is performed with very little down time, better results and aggressive pain control methods for a more comfortable recovery.
