Hernia Repair

Hernia repair involves the surgical repair of a tear in the abdominal wall that results in tissues or organs bulging through the tear, often causing pain or discomfort.

• general anesthesia is typically used
• surgeon will make three to five small incisions to the abdomen
• a laparoscope (with a tiny camera) is inserted into the abdomen
• the abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide gas to create working space for the surgeon
• thin surgical instruments are inserted and utilized to push the bulging tissue back into place
