If you’ve been told you have a hernia or suspect you might it’s normal to have questions about what comes next. At Mountainside Medical Center, our surgical team is here to help you understand your options and get back to feeling your best as quickly and safely as possible.
A hernia occurs when a weak spot in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall allows internal structures or organs to protrude through. The most Common types include inguinal (groin), umbilical (belly button), femoral (upper thigh), and incisional (from a previous surgery) hernias. While some hernias cause mild discomfort, others can become painful or serious if left untreated, making timely care essential.
“At Mountainside, we’re committed to providing patients with the most advanced and precise surgical options available,” said Dr. Harvey Rainville, Chief of Robotic Surgery at Mountainside Medical Center. “Our robotic minimally invasive techniques allow us to repair hernias with smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery times, helping patients return to their normal lives sooner.”
Our board-certified general surgeons specialize in both minimally invasive and robotic hernia repair, which offer many benefits, including:
- Smaller incisions and less scarring
- Reduced pain after surgery
- Lower risk of complications and hernia recurrence
- Shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery
We know surgery can feel overwhelming, but our team will guide you every step of the way. From your first consultation through your recovery, we’ll create a personalized care plan that focuses on your comfort, safety, and long-term health.
If you’re experiencing symptoms such as a visible bulge, discomfort when lifting, or pain in the groin or abdomen, don’t wait to get checked. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications and improve your recovery.
