If you’ve been told you have a hernia or suspect you might it’s normal to have questions about what comes next. At Pascack Valley Medical Center, our surgical team is here to help you understand your options and get back to feeling your best as quickly and safely as possible.
A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall. Common types include inguinal (groin), umbilical (belly button), femoral (upper thigh), and incisional (from a previous surgery) hernias. While some hernias cause mild discomfort, others can become painful or serious if left untreated, making timely care essential.
“At Pascack Valley Medical Center, our priority is offering patients the safest and most effective surgical solutions,” said Dr. Sruti Patel, board-certified surgeon at Pascack Valley Medical Center. “Using robotic-assisted techniques, we can repair hernias with minimal incisions, reduce post-surgery discomfort, and support a quicker, smoother recovery—so patients can get back to their daily routines with confidence.”
Our board-certified general surgeons specialize in both minimally invasive and robotic hernia repair, which offer many benefits, including:
- Smaller incisions and less scarring
- Reduced pain after surgery
- Lower risk of complications and hernia recurrence
- Shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery
We know surgery can feel overwhelming, but our team will guide you every step of the way. From your first consultation through your recovery, we’ll create a personalized care plan that focuses on your comfort, safety, and long-term health.
If you’re experiencing symptoms such as a visible bulge, discomfort when lifting, or pain in the groin or abdomen, don’t wait to get checked. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications and improve your recovery.
