How do I know if I need Hernia Surgery?

The word “hernia” comes from the Latin word for “rupture” because hernias are small ruptures that create holes in your abdominal muscles. Something as minor as a cough, lifting a weight or just standing up can cause part of your intestines or stomach to be forced through the hole.

The trapped tissue may form a visible bump in your abdominal or groin area. Symptoms range from:

  • Feeling of heaviness in the abdomen
  • Aching abdominal or chest pain when standing
  • Difficulty swallowing and eating
  • Increased pain during physical activity
  • Groin pain or discomfort

The severity of the symptoms increases the longer the hernia goes untreated. That’s why you need to reach out to the clinic that performs the best hernia surgery in Arizona!

  • A visible bump in your abdominal or groin area
  • Feeling of heaviness in the abdomen
  • Aching abdominal or chest pain when standing
  • Difficulty swallowing and eating
  • Increased pain during physical activity
  • Groin pain or discomfort If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to schedule a consultation to discuss your treatment options.
What makes robotic-assisted hernia surgery better than traditional methods?

  • Smaller incisions and less trauma to surrounding tissue
  • Shortened surgical and anesthesia times
  • Faster recovery with minimal scarring
  • Better long-term results compared to traditional surgery
  • Enhanced surgical precision through advanced robotics
What happens during the hernia repair procedure?
The procedure begins with a thorough consultation and examination. On the day of surgery:
  • You’ll receive general anesthesia for maximum comfort
  • The procedure is performed using small incisions
  • Robot-assisted technology helps repair the hernia and strengthen surrounding tissue
  • Most procedures take approximately one hour

What types of hernias require surgery?
There are several types of hernias that may require surgical intervention:
  • Inguinal hernias (in the groin region)
  • Ventral hernias (in the mid-section)
  • Umbilical hernias (around the belly button)
  • Hiatal hernias (involving the diaphragm and stomach) Each type requires specific surgical approaches, which our experienced team can explain during your consultation.
What happens if I leave my hernia untreated?

Untreated hernias typically worsen over time and can lead to serious complications. The trapped tissue may become strangulated, cutting off blood supply and requiring emergency surgery. It’s important to address hernia symptoms promptly to avoid these risks.

Will I need to stay in the hospital?

Most hernia surgeries are outpatient procedures, meaning you can return home the same day. Research shows that patients typically recover more comfortably and quickly in their home environment than in a hospital setting.

  • Avoid eating for eight hours prior to your procedure
  • Follow any specific pre-operative instructions from your surgeon
  • Arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery
  • Prepare your home for a comfortable recovery
