Hernias are very common. In fact, according to statistics, upwards of one million hernia surgeries are performed every year in the United States. When Triangle area patients seek treatment for hernias, they turn to EmergeOrtho—Triangle Region. Our Hernia Surgical Team has unparalleled surgical skills to produce the best clinical outcomes for our patients. And, we implement the latest minimally-invasive surgical procedures to provide exemplary, patient-centered care.
A hernia develops when the abdominal lining pushes through weaker layers of your abdominal wall. This forms a bulge that gradually gets bigger with time. While some hernias that do not present health risks or complications can be monitored with a “watch and wait” approach most hernias eventually need surgical intervention.
Although there are several different types of hernias, inguinal are the most common.
Again, most hernias require surgery to repair the hernia. The two main types of surgery fall under the categories of open hernia repair and laparoscopic surgeries.
The best way to determine which type of surgery is best for you is to request a consultation with an EmergeOrtho—Triangle Surgeon. Our board-certified surgeons have the experience, expertise, and knowledge to provide exemplary care in a manner that is both compassionate and efficient. Our unsurpassed skill has enabled us to help thousands of area residents Emerge Stronger. Healthier. Better.
