At Glacial Ridge Center for Surgical Care, our surgeons specialize in laparoscopic (small incision) hernia surgeries, which are commonly performed in the inner groin, outer groin, belly button, or upper stomach. Their experience in minimally invasive procedures is nationally known and state-of-the-art.
You may be suffering from a hernia if you are experiencing the following symptoms.
A hernia will not go away with exercise, therapy, or time. The longer you wait to repair your hernia, the greater your risk for a potentially serious complication that could cause permanent damage. If you think you may have a hernia, talk to your Glacial Ridge Health System doctor or make an appointment at Glenwood Medical Center.
At Glacial Ridge Center for Surgical Care, we offer minimally invasive surgery to repair hernias in the inner groin, outer groin, belly button, or upper stomach. Our surgeons perform laparoscopic surgery (using small incisions) so pain is minimal, scarring is limited, and recovery is fast.
Most people go home the same day of surgery and can return to work within one to two weeks.
