Hernia Repair

Hernia repair involves reinforcing weakened abdominal wall areas—commonly inguinal, umbilical, or incisional hernias—by open, laparoscopic, or robotic methods. Mesh is typically used to lower recurrence. The surgery is outpatient or 1 night in hospital. Most patients resume work in 2-4 weeks.
