DR. REINHORN EXPLAINS INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR TECHNIQUE

 

The advanced open pre-peritoneal inguinal hernia repair that Dr. Reinhorn performs allows for faster hernia surgery recovery than many other types of inguinal hernia surgery. Patients report less pain in the post-operative period. Many patients return to normal activity within a few days of their hernia surgery and return to full physical activity within a couple of weeks. Patients leave the hospital a couple hours after surgery to continue recovery from home.

 

LEARN ABOUT UMBILICAL HERNIA SURGERY

 

We perform minimally invasive surgery to repair an umbilical/ventral hernia. This involves making a small incision in your abdomen in order to gain access to your hernia or hernias. A piece of mesh is placed inside your abdomen in order to repair the hernia defect from the inside. The end result of this umbilical/ventral hernia repair is identical to laparoscopic hernia repair, but the procedure is less invasive. There is less dissection involved and local anesthesia with sedation is often used instead of general anesthesia, leading to a quicker recovery.

SEE WHAT BOSTON HERNIA PATIENTS SAY

“While hernia surgeries have become common, any surgery, however routine, can be dangerous. The charge, therefore, was to find a top-flight surgeon with impeccable credentials and a bulletproof track record. It was no contest. The reviews for Dr. Reinhorn were not only good but stellar- written by people who at once were credible not only because of what they said but how they said it. In July, Dr. Reinhorn, backed by a crack team, excised the hernia in a seamless 45-min procedure. I was back home three hours later. Indeed, there was expected post-surgical aftermath but I quickly was back to normal and, most important it should be stressed that I (while prescribed) took no pain medication.”
