Understanding Hernias

Hernias occur when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. While some hernias are painless and slow-growing, others can become serious and require immediate medical attention.

At St. Elizabeth we treat all common types of hernias, including those in the groin, abdomen, and upper stomach. Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools and minimally invasive techniques, including robotic-assisted surgery, to ensure the best outcomes for each patient.

Comparing Your Treatment Options

Our board–certified general surgeons offer both traditional and advanced minimally invasive techniques, including robotic-assisted surgery. Robotic surgery allows:

Smaller incisions.
Greater precision.
Less pain and scarring.
Faster recovery times.

We tailor each treatment plan to your needs, whether you’re managing a small hernia or facing a more complex case.
