Hernia Surgery in Freehold, New Jersey

Why deal with large incisions and increased pain after hernia surgery

A hernia is an abnormal bulge that is typically located on the abdomen or groin.  Hernias can occur after an operation, strenuous activity, coughing, constipation or you may be born with it.  Not all hernias are dangerous, but prevention is key.

If your hernia is symptomatic, meaning it causes you pain or discomfort, you should see a surgeon for a consultation. A hernia can be dangerous if there is any intestine that gets incarcerated, or stuck, and/or strangulated, when the blood supply is cut-off. This could be a life-threatening event. Don't wait till it is too late to treat.

Treatment usually consists of surgery that may use mesh to reinforce the repair to decrease the hernia recurring. The surgery can be performed by conventional methods through an incision overlying the hernia or through the use of a camera and small incisions.
