Hernias are common in both women and men. They occur when fat — or part of an organ such as your intestine — bulges through a hole in the nearby muscle wall. People with a hernia may see or feel a bump in their abdomen or groin when they lift heavy things or bear down.

Your doctor may suggest surgery if your hernia is painful or affects your daily life. Sharp HealthCare offers surgery to repair several types of hernia, including:

  • Inguinal hernia

  • Umbilical hernia

  • Femoral hernia

  • Ventral hernia

Benefits of robotic surgery

Advanced robotic systems give doctors greater control and visibility during surgery. Using a three-dimensional plan, your surgeon has full control of the robotic tools, and the surgical team is by your side at all times. With this precision, robotic-assisted surgery can result in:

  • Smaller incisions

  • Less pain and scarring

  • Lower risk of infection

  • Reduced blood loss

  • Faster recovery and quicker return to daily life
