A hernia happens when an organ in your body pushes through the layers of muscle that surround it. A doctor may recommend surgery to repair a hernia that has become painful. Our center repairs a variety of hernias, including two common abdominal hernias: the inguinal hernia and the ventral hernia. We also repair femoral, umbilical, incisional , hiatal and other hernias. We offer patients highly personalized treatment plans and multidisciplinary care for all types of hernias including giant abdominal wall hernias, hernias arising from enterocutaneous fistulas, and management of complicated mesh-related infections related to recurrent hernias. The multidisciplinary treatment team includes gastrointestinal surgeons, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, wound care specialists, hospital intensivists, and professionals in nutritional rehabilitation and physical rehabilitation.
