Inguinal hernias occur in a sensitive area of the lower abdomen, close to nerves and blood vessels. Robotic-assisted surgery gives Dr. Muffoletto enhanced control and precision during the repair, allowing for a careful, well-supported closure with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.

This technique can lead to:
✔️ Smaller incisions and reduced scarring
✔️ Less post-op discomfort
✔️ Faster recovery timelines
✔️ Lower risk of chronic pain or recurrence

If you're considering inguinal hernia repair, Dr. Muffoletto can help you understand the safest, most effective surgical plan for your case.

You might not think much of a bulge or mild discomfort, but these could be early signs of an inguinal hernia, one of the most common types of hernia in both men and women.

The good news? When diagnosed early, hernias are often easier to repair and recovery can be smoother.

If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, don’t wait to get it checked.

– What inguinal hernias are and how to spot them
– When surgery is recommended
– What to expect from robotic repair
– Recovery tips and timelines

If you’ve been living with groin pain, a bulge, or uncertainty about next steps, we’ll be covering everything you need to know.

Why does robotic surgery matter? One word: precision.

Using the da Vinci surgical system, Dr. Muffoletto performs complex procedures with enhanced control, visibility, and accuracy, all through a few small incisions.

Here’s how it supports safer surgery:
🔹 10x magnification for better visualization
🔹 Tremor filtration for smoother instrument movement
🔹 Greater dexterity in tight or delicate areas
🔹 Less tissue trauma = less pain, faster recovery

For the right patients, robotic-assisted surgery is a safer, smarter way to operate.

In last week’s webinar, Dr. Muffoletto shared what separates a simple hernia from a complex one — and why that distinction matters.

If you missed it, here’s a quick takeaway worth sharing:

Complex hernias often involve:
– Recurrent or failed prior repairs
– Large abdominal wall defects
– Muscle separation (diastasis)
– Significant scarring or adhesions

These cases require specialized planning, expert surgical technique, and in many cases — robotic access for the safest, most precise outcome.

If you’re a provider wondering when to refer, or a patient who’s been told your hernia is “too complicated,” we’re here to help clarify your next steps!

A live, Q and A style discussion with Dr. Muffoletto focused on surgical decision making, referral considerations, and advanced techniques in contemporary practice.

What does it really look like to operate with the robot?

In this clip, Dr. Muffoletto shows how he controls the da Vinci Xi system directly from the surgeon’s console — using 10x magnification, wrist-like instrument control, and full visibility of the surgical field.

With this setup, every movement is deliberate, steady, and 100% under the surgeon’s control.

This is what makes robotic surgery so powerful and so safe!

We’re putting the final touches on our first Ask the Surgeon event — and this is your last chance to submit questions.

This session is geared toward referring providers, primary care teams, and clinical staff who want deeper insight into surgical referrals, robotic techniques, and procedural considerations.

Dr. Muffoletto will be answering real, pre-submitted questions during our January 22 live session from 6:30-7:30pm AKST.

👉 Submission deadline is tomorrow: https://johnmuffolettosurgery.com/

Let’s make it a conversation that helps more people feel informed, confident, and heard.

Parathyroid glands help regulate calcium in your body. When one or more of those glands become overactive (a condition called hyperparathyroidism), it can throw off your calcium levels — leading to fatigue, bone loss, kidney stones, and more.

Dr. Muffoletto performed surgery to correct this patient's calcium imbalance, and her results say it all!

It’s expert care — with a personal touch. Call 907-276-1046 to schedule a consult.
