Hernia Repair at Glacial Ridge Center for Surgical Care

Reduce your risk for complications. Relieve your pain. Recover quickly.

At Glacial Ridge Center for Surgical Care, our surgeons specialize in minimally invasive hernia surgeries, utilizing both laparoscopic and robotic-assisted techniques. These procedures, commonly performed in areas such as the inner groin, outer groin, belly button, or upper stomach, involve small incisions that minimize discomfort and accelerate recovery.

How do I know if I have a hernia?

You may be suffering from a hernia if you are experiencing the following symptoms.

  • Pain or discomfort when standing, straining, or lifting
  • Not able to have a bowel movement or blood in your stool
  • A bulge on the surface of the abdomen
  • May develop fever, chills, nausea, or vomiting

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.
