There are two main types of hernia repair: Ventral hernia repair (in the abdominal wall) and Inguinal repair (in the groin area). Since surgery is the only way to repair a hernia, robotic-assisted surgery can be a valuable technology for surgeons. Dr. Dominick Vitale loves using the da Vinci surgical system (DV5 and Xi) by Intuitive because it allows for more dexterity in the hands of the surgeon to perform classically more complex hernia repairs with ease and through tiny incisions where historically they would have required large open incisions.

Our Story

CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Health System was founded in 1869 by the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word. The sisters heeded the call from the Catholic bishop of Texas to care for the multitude of sick, infirm, and orphaned in the Texas frontier. When the sisters arrived in San Antonio, the population was only 12,000 and there was no public hospital - until the sisters founded CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital.
