Meet Paul, a long-time Minneapolis resident originally from Romania, who came to us with a large, symptomatic recurrent incisional hernia. His hernia stemmed from a previous colon operation and was severely limiting his life.

Three months ago, we performed a Robotic Incisional Hernia Repair. The procedure was uneventful, and his recovery has been flawless! Today, his quality of life is significantly improved, and as he says, his abdomen is now "flat" (sorry, no st******se yet 😉).

Robotics provides the precision needed for complex cases like Paul’s, allowing for excellent outcomes and a swift return to daily activities. We are proud to serve our diverse Minneapolis community!
