Epigastric Hernia Repair
Epigastric Hernia Repair
An epigastric hernia develops through a weakness in the upper abdominal wall between the breastbone and belly button, often causing localized pain, pressure, or a visible bulge. Dr. Svestka carefully evaluates the size, contents, and surrounding tissue quality to determine whether open, minimally invasive, or robotic repair is most appropriate.
Umbilical Hernia Repair
Umbilical Hernia Repair
Umbilical hernias occur near the belly button when tissue or fat pushes through a weakened area of the abdominal fascia. You may notice discomfort during lifting, coughing, or exercise. Dr. Svestka uses evidence-based repair techniques to restore abdominal wall strength while reducing tension on surrounding tissues and supporting long-term durability.
Inguinal & Femoral Hernia Repair
Inguinal & Femoral Hernia Repair
Inguinal and femoral hernias develop in the groin when abdominal tissue protrudes through naturally weaker areas of the lower abdominal wall. Symptoms may include aching, burning, heaviness, or swelling in the groin. Dr. Svestka performs highly individualized repairs using mesh placement and, when appropriate, other minimally invasive techniques.
