Hernia Surgery

Hernias occur when an internal organ pushes out through a gap or weak spot in the muscle or tissue that usually holds it in, causing a bulge. There are different types of hernias, but the most common hernias occur in the areas of your stomach and groin (the space between your lower belly and upper thigh). Hernias can be a mild irritation or a life-threatening condition requiring emergency surgery, depending on the type and severity. 

Patients with symptoms usually require hernia repair surgery to prevent the possible complications of a hernia in the future. Symptoms can include a noticeable lump or bulge, pain while lifting, as well as a sense of feeling full or constipated. Most of our patients receive minimally invasive surgical treatment, which is done using small incisions (cuts) and very few stitches.

Gallbladder Surgery

Your gallbladder is a small organ below your liver. It holds and releases bile, a fluid that goes from the liver and gallbladder into the small intestine, where it helps with digestion. Gallstones can form when bile hardens into a stone-like material. When gallstones block the bile ducts, it can lead to a severe or life-threatening infection. Gallbladder disorders can cause pain in your abdomen, as well as your right shoulder. Some conditions may cause you to vomit or feel like you might vomit.  

Treatment depends on the location of the blockage and what problems develop because of it. Your doctor may recommend surgery to remove your gallbladder. This is called a cholecystectomy. Sometimes it may be important to evaluate the bile ducts at the same time as gallbladder surgery. Our surgeons have expertise with a tool used to evaluate the bile ducts called a choledochoscope.

Leaders in Advanced Techniques and Minimally Invasive Surgical Treatments

日本av色情片’s world-class surgeons are experts in minimally invasive surgery — like and robotic surgery. They are experts on abdominal wall hernia repair using minimally invasive surgical techniques, such as -assisted extraperitoneal surgery. They can also perform complex abdominal wall reconstruction for larger hernias with excellent functional and cosmetic outcomes. 

Minimally invasive surgical treatment reduces a patient’s pain and recovery times. Unlike traditional “open” surgery, minimally invasive procedures use small incisions, making surgery less painful and helping patients recover faster.
