"Why do I need to fill out all of this paperwork?"

Your medical history gives us crucial insight into how to plan and personalize your care.

It may seem repetitive, but even conditions from years ago, like a past heart issue or respiratory infection, can impact the approach we take during surgery today.

We review your information carefully to make the safest decisions for your care.

BEFORE AND AFTER: Ventral Hernia Repair

A ventral hernia happens when tissue or intestine pushes through a weak spot in the midline of the abdominal wall, above the belly button. This usually results in a visible bulge and, for many patients, discomfort with movement, core weakness, or lingering pain.

In this case, robotic-assisted surgery allowed us to:
✔️ Gently remove tissue from the hernia site
✔️ Close the abdominal wall defect
✔️ Place mesh for added support and long-term reinforcement

The result: a smoother abdominal contour, less pain, restoration of the abdominal domain and a stronger repair built to last.

September is Pain Awareness Month and a good reminder that ongoing discomfort deserves a closer look.

Many patients we see have been living with pain for months (or even years), assuming it’s just part of aging, or something they have to “live with.”

But persistent pain, especially in the abdomen, groin, or near surgical sites, isn’t something to ignore. A trusted healthcare provider can help assess the cause and guide you to the right care, whether that’s through medical management or referral to a specialist.

📞 Call 907-276-1046 to schedule a consult or get a second opinion.

BEFORE ➡️ AFTER

When a prior surgical incision leaves behind a hernia, it can affect posture, mobility, and even core strength.

This patient came to us with a large, complex incisional hernia. Through robotic-assisted repair, Dr. Muffoletto was able to restore abdominal wall function, reduce strain, and help him return to more confident movement.
