Referring physicians know that we achieve consistent, quality results, and offer solutions that address the type of hernia you have. We offer a priority program for hernia treatment. We encourage the repair of hernias as quickly as possible. Hernias cannot get better without surgical intervention. For patients who are good candidates for surgery — non-smokers or those without other health conditions that would postpone surgery — a fast track to surgery is available.
Prompt treatments reduce the possibility of the hernia worsening and more complex surgery at a later date. Umbilical hernia. An umbilical hernia is a bulge in the muscle of the belly, at the belly button. Hiatal hernia. Hiatal hernias happen when the top of the stomach bulges through an opening in the diaphragm the large muscle between the stomach and chest that helps you breathe. Your doctor may recommend surgical hernia repair: If the hernia is painful. If the hernia is strangulated.
This means the tissue has become trapped or twisted and may not be getting enough blood. A strangulated hernia is dangerous. To prevent the hernia from becoming painful or strangulated. If your hernia does not require surgery right away, your surgeon may recommend: Wearing a special device called a truss to hold tissues in place Watching and waiting Hernia Repair Surgery Surgery to repair hernias are common and usually very successful.
There are two types of surgery: In laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon makes two or three very small incisions cuts near the hernia and reaches it with long, thin tools. A laparoscope a tiny camera shows the hernia on a screen. In open surgery, the surgeon makes one longer incision over the hernia and opens the skin.
Risks and possible problems of hernia surgery are rare but can include: Injury to veins, nerves, or bladder Blockage in digestive tract Need for another surgery Reactions to anesthesia such as allergy, nausea, vomiting, sore throat, and headache Reactions at the site of the surgery including infection, excess bleeding, and blood clots. Surgery to repair a hernia can: Eliminate or reduce pain from the hernia Prevent or repair strangulation. Surgery usually lasts about an hour.
These are things that will happen during that time: Anesthesia. This may be general anesthesia, which makes you sleep and prevents you from feeling or remembering the surgery. Or, you may have a regional or a local anesthesia. Language Languages Clear filter. Age Group Patient's Age Clear filter. More Filters.

Ventral, incisional, and flank hernias develop as a bulge between the muscles in the abdominal wall. They may occur following pregnancy, following weight gain, or at an abdominal incision site. Parastomal hernias develop at the site of an ileostomy, a colostomy, or a urostomy. When appropriate, small incisions may be used that cause less pain and help you recover faster. When larger, complex hernias are present, or risk factors and complications such as infection are a concern, larger incisions may be necessary.
