A hernia is an opening in the abdominal muscle wall which can allow the inner lining to protrude and form a pouch. This bulge may contain abdominal fat or intra-abdominal organs. This is very common as approximately 5 million people in the U.S. develop hernias every year. Common symptoms of hernias include pain or pressure at the site of the hernia, or a small bulge or lump when lifting heavy objects. Whether an inguinal (groin), ventral/umbilical (belly button), or hiatal hernia is present, Dr. Leithead uses the newest laparoscopic and robotic technology to repair the hernia and resolve your symptoms.
