Types of Hernias We Treat

Hernias are a common medical condition that occurs when an organ or tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue. This can lead to discomfort, pain and other complications if left untreated. Hernias can manifest in different forms, each originating from a distinct part of the body.

Inguinal hernia – Inguinal hernias are the most common type of hernia and occur when part of the intestine bulges through a weak spot in the abdominal wall, creating a small lump near the groin. It can happen during activities like heavy lifting.
Femoral hernia – Femoral hernias happen when tissue, usually part of the intestine, stick through a weak spot near the upper thigh and groin.
Incisional hernia – Incisional hernias form at the site of a prior abdominal surgery incision, where tissue or organs push through a weakened scar creating a visible bulge.
Umbilical hernia – Most common in infants, an umbilical hernia develops through a weakened spot near the belly button.
Hiatal hernia – Hiatal hernias happen when the upper part of the stomach protrudes into the chest through a weakened diaphragm opening, causing acid reflux and discomfort. Lifestyle changes and medications manage symptoms, but severe cases may require surgery.
Epigastric hernia – An epigastric hernia occurs when fat or part of the intestine pushes through a weak area in the abdominal muscles.
Lateral hernia – A hernia that develops when tissue or organs push through a weak spot in the spigelian fascia (abdominal wall muscles).
Ventral hernia – Any type of bulge of intestine or other tissue through a weakened abdominal wall. Umbilical and incisional hernias are specific types of ventral hernias.
