What Is Hernia Repair Surgery?

Hernia repair surgery is a procedure that returns displaced tissue or organs through the abdominal wall to their normal position. Untreated hernias can cause increasing pain and potential complications. Our highly experienced surgeons use both cutting-edge laparoscopic and traditional open approaches, selecting the best method for your condition and goals.

Choosing the right medical center ensures your safety, comfort, and optimal long-term results. At Best Life Bariatrics and Medical Weight Loss Center, your well-being is our top priority—from pre-operative planning to full recovery.

Types of Hernia Repair Surgery We Offer

Our surgeons have deep expertise in a range of hernia repair options, tailoring every treatment to your needs.

Umbilical Hernia Repair Surgery

  • Definition and Causes: Umbilical hernias occur near the navel when part of the intestine pushes through the abdominal wall. Often seen in infants and adults, causes range from abdominal pressure to genetics and previous surgeries.
  • Surgical Approach and Techniques: We offer both minimally invasive (laparoscopic) and open repair, depending on hernia size and your health. Laparoscopic surgery uses several tiny incisions and a camera for precise repairs and faster healing, while open surgery is through one larger incision.  We carefully consider mesh and non-mesh repairs to optimize reinforcement and reduce recurrence.

Hiatal Hernia Repair Surgery

  • Overview: A hiatal hernia forms when part of the stomach slips through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. Symptoms may include reflux, heartburn, and discomfort.
  • Laparoscopic Techniques: Most hiatal hernia repair procedures today are performed laparoscopically, leading to smaller scars, quicker recovery, and reduced pain. During surgery, your surgeon gently moves the stomach back into place and strengthens the diaphragm opening. We discuss all surgical options, letting you choose what works best for you.

How Hernia Repair Surgery Works

Your surgeon will review your individual case and discuss the most effective approach, which may include:

  • Anesthesia Options: Most hernia repairs are performed using general anesthesia, but local or spinal anesthesia may be recommended in certain cases to suit your health and comfort.
  • Step-by-Step Surgery Overview: The displaced tissue is gently returned to its normal position. If needed, stitches or surgical mesh reinforce the weakened area. Your surgeon will explain whether mesh or non-mesh repair is safest and most effective for your condition.
  • Procedure Duration: Most hernia surgeries are completed in 1–2 hours, with patients usually able to go home the same day.

Recovery

A smooth recovery is key to successful results. Here’s what you can expect after your procedure with us:

  • Typical Timeline:  Many patients are able to go home the same day as their surgery.  You are able return to light activity right away with the main restriction of any lifting.  While the repair is healing, typically for about 6 weeks, we want to minimize the tension on the repair from lifting, straining, pushing or pulling.
  • Aftercare Guidelines: We provide easy-to-follow guidance for wound care, pain management, and returning to activity.  Gradually increase movement as advised.

  • Tips for a Smooth Recovery: Avoid heavy lifting for 6 weeks, stay hydrated, and eat nutritious foods to help with healing. Our team checks in regularly to answer questions and adjust your plan as needed.

    Understand the Risks and Complications

    All surgeries involve some risk, but hiatal hernia repair can have unique complications.

    • Possible Complications: These may include infection, recurrence, pain, or, in rare cases, injury to nearby organs or mesh complications.

    • Minimizing Risks: Our team of surgeons uses meticulous techniques and the latest research-backed approaches to reduce complications. Care doesn’t stop after your discharge; prompt follow-up and open communication are central to our care plan.

    • Importance of Follow-Up: Regular check-ins ensure issues are quickly addressed, and your recovery stays on track.
