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.

Hernia repair is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in the United States. Because a specialized hernia surgeon will have seen more hernia surgeries than those practicing varied types of procedures, the physician will typically be more experienced in the repair of hernias. The more complex the hernia, the more important it becomes to find a complex abdominal wall repair specialist.

Inguinal hernias are a common type of hernia in the groin area that occurs mostly in men. There can be a protrusion on one or both sides of the p***c bone. Inguinal hernias can lead to severe, life-threatening complications if left untreated. Umbilical hernias occur when the intestine protrudes through a weakened area or opening near the navel. Your surgeon will talk with you about the most medically appropriate approach for repairing your hernia. Adults with umbilical hernias will likely require surgery.

A hernia occurs due to a weakening of the muscle wall, which allows the intestine or organ to protrude through the weakened area of the groin or abdominal wall. Hernias can become more pronounced when straining or coughing. Hernias can be particularly painful when bending over, coughing, and lifting heavy objects. Your physician is likely to recommend abdominal surgery if your symptoms worsen.
