UT Southwestern Medical Center’s experienced physicians offer patients the latest in hernia repair strategies, state-of-the-art facilities and advanced surgical services.

We routinely see patients with a variety of hernia complaints, from straight-forward umbilical, femoral, incisional and inguinal hernia repairs, to the most complex.

Our surgeons are proven leaders in the area of minimally invasive surgery, which is often used for the treatment of hernias. For those patients requiring a more traditional surgical route, our skilled physicians are experienced in open surgery as well.

The goal with every hernia repair is to effectively address the problem the first time so as to avoid recurrent episodes. Whenever possible, our physicians perform laparoscopic surgery to improve the outcome of the operation as well as to reduce recovery time.

By working with a team of specialists, patients and their physicians are able to make an informed decision about their treatment strategy. This collaborative team approach provides accurate diagnoses and timely surgical intervention when needed.

UT Southwestern’s comprehensive medical resources enable patients to have an initial consultation, testing, follow-up visits and any needed medical procedures all in one location.
