Adult hernias will never resolve on their own, and surgery is typically the only way to repair the affected area. In some cases, watchful waiting may be used for a small hernia. But in many cases a hernia may worsen, becoming more difficult to repair as it enlarges. With Laparoscopic Hernia Repair, three small incisions of less than one inch in the lower abdomen are used to gently expose the area behind the hernia (on the inside of the abdominal wall). High-definition video imaging is utilized to facilitate a gentle exposure of the hernia. A customized mesh is placed behind the muscular wall to repair the hernia defect. The use of mesh in this operation has a long history of safety and durability. The larger the hernia, the more likely surgical mesh will be needed to reinforce the repair and lower the risk of a future recurrence. Dr. Victoria Lee Murdock at Alaska Hernia Center specializes in the care and treatment of hernia patients.

Our multidisciplinary team of hernia specialists uses a wide variety of surgical techniques including robotic surgery and collaborates across specialties to provide comprehensive personalized care to patients. Because a specialized hernia surgeon will have seen more hernia surgeries than those practicing varied types of procedures, he or she will typically be more experienced in the repair of hernias.

Alaska Hernia Center is a respected leader in abdominal wall reconstruction and complex hernia surgical repair. While there are many surgeons who do hernia surgery, we recommend finding a surgeon whose sole focus is hernia repair and complex hernia repair. The more complex the hernia, the more important it becomes to find a complex abdominal wall repair specialist.

As hernias increase in size, they generally become more complex and require a more complex operation for successful repair. Several different hernia repair methods exist for any given hernia. All techniques may have excellent outcomes when performed by surgeons with extensive experience in that particular method. Not only can hernias be painful, but if left untreated the protruding tissue can become strangulated, a complication that indicates the herniated tissue has lost blood supply and needs emergency hernia surgery.
