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.

Dr. Murdock has been providing exceptional contributions in the field of minimally invasive hernia surgery. 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.
