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 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.

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.
