Ventral & Incisional Hernia Repair
Ventral hernia repair is a specialized surgical procedure used to treat a weakness or defect in the abdominal wall through which internal tissue can protrude. Ventral hernias may occur around the belly button, along previous surgical scars, or at other weakened areas of the abdominal wall.
Our surgical team provides personalized treatment using open, laparoscopic, and robotic techniques, depending on the size, location, complexity, and individual needs of each patient.
What Is an Incisional Hernia?
An incisional hernia develops through the scar of a previous abdominal operation, where the healing abdominal wall remains weaker than the surrounding tissue. It may appear months or years after surgery and tends to enlarge over time. Repair is planned according to the size and position of the defect and the patient’s general health, using open, laparoscopic or robotic techniques, usually with a mesh to reinforce the abdominal wall.
