At Your Side Before and After Surgery
We pay attention to your pre- and post-surgical care as well as your surgery itself because successful outcomes are the sum of all the parts. That’s what makes us different.
Uncommon care for a common problem
Unfortunately, hernias are a fact of life. But if left untreated, they can become serious—and they don’t fix themselves. Surgery is the only way to permanently fix an inguinal, umbilical, femoral, hiatal, or incisional hernia. Fortunately, our surgeons use leading-edge technology, techniques, and repair materials. Contact your primary care physician through MyChart and ask for an in-person or virtual consultation to see if surgery is right for you.
For patients with recurrent and complex abdominal hernias that require extensive surgical repair, we have an advanced hernia clinic in Grand Rapids that specializes in managing difficult hernias. Our experienced team helps you get back to your best life.
What does Corewell Health provide? The heavy lift.
The two main types of hernia surgery are open and minimally-invasive (laparoscopic). Many of our surgeons are specially trained to perform robotic surgery using the da Vinci® Xi™ Surgical System which can offer a faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring.
