Incisional Hernia Repair
Incisional Hernia Repair is a specialized surgical service for patients who develop a hernia at or near a previous surgical incision, or who have weakness of the abdominal wall associated with a previous wound or operation.
These cases may involve scar tissue, weakened abdominal muscles, previous mesh, recurrent hernias, or difficult wound healing. Our surgical team provides comprehensive assessment and individualized treatment using laparoscopic, robotic, or open techniques when appropriate.
