Hernia Repair

If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of a hernia, such as pain, pressure, or a visible bulge, it’s important to seek evaluation from an experienced surgical team. Hernias come in several forms, and accurate diagnosis is essential to determining the most effective treatment or surgical repair. At ASA, our board-certified surgeons specialize in comprehensive hernia care, offering advanced diagnostic and surgical treatment options for a wide range of hernia types. Below are the most common hernias treated at ASA.

Inguinal Hernia 

An inguinal hernia occurs when tissue, usually part of the intestine, pushes through a weak area in the lower abdominal wall near the groin. It is the most common type of hernia and affects men more frequently.

Symptoms:

  • Bulge in the groin or scrotum
  • Groin pain or pressure
  • Discomfort when lifting, coughing, or standing
  • Burning or aching sensation

Treatment Options:
Treatment often includes surgical repair, either minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery or open hernia repair. The experienced hernia surgeons at ASA evaluate each patient to determine the safest and most effective approach.

Femoral Hernia 

A femoral hernia develops when abdominal tissue pushes through the femoral canal just below the groin. It is less common than inguinal hernias but occurs more often in women and carries a higher risk of complications.

Symptoms:

  • Groin or upper thigh pain
  • Small bulge below the groin
  • Sudden severe pain if strangulation occurs

Treatment Options:
Because femoral hernias have a higher risk of becoming incarcerated or strangulated, prompt surgical repair is usually recommended. Hernia surgeons at ASA provide timely evaluation and expert care.

Umbilical Hernia 

An umbilical hernia occurs when intestine or fatty tissue protrudes through the abdominal wall near the belly button. It is common in infants but also affects adults after pregnancy, weight gain, or abdominal strain.

Symptoms:

  • Bulge near the navel
  • Mild pain or pressure
  • Swelling that worsens with activity

Treatment Options:
Small hernias may be monitored, but many adults require surgical repair to prevent complications. The Surgeons at ASA offer safe and effective umbilical hernia treatment options.

Ventral Hernia 

A ventral hernia refers to a bulge through an opening in the abdominal muscles and can occur anywhere on the abdominal wall. It may be present at birth or develop over time.

Symptoms:

  • Visible abdominal bulge
  • Pain or discomfort
  • Pressure that increases with activity

Treatment Options:
Ventral hernia treatment often involves surgical repair with or without mesh, depending on the size and location of the hernia. ASA surgeons tailor treatment plans to each patient.

Incisional Hernia 

An incisional hernia develops at the site of a previous surgical incision when the abdominal wall does not heal completely.

Symptoms:

  • Bulge near a prior surgical scar
  • Pain or tenderness
  • Worsening discomfort over time

Treatment Options:
Incisional hernias typically require surgical correction, often using minimally invasive techniques to reduce recovery time. ASA offers advanced solutions for complex and recurrent hernias.

Hiatal Hernia Treatment at ASA

A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach moves through the diaphragm into the chest cavity and is commonly associated with acid reflux and GERD.

Symptoms:

  • Heartburn or acid reflux
  • Chest pain
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Regurgitation

Treatment Options:
Treatment may include lifestyle changes, medications, or surgical repair for severe or persistent symptoms. Surgeons at ASA provide individualized hiatal hernia care.

Epigastric Hernia 

An epigastric hernia occurs between the breastbone and the belly button when fatty tissue or intestine pushes through the abdominal wall.

Symptoms:

  • Small upper abdominal bulge
  • Localized pain or tenderness
  • Discomfort during activity

Treatment Options:
Surgical repair is often recommended, especially if symptoms worsen or the hernia increases in size. ASA surgeons provide effective and minimally invasive treatment options.

Spigelian Hernia 

A Spigelian hernia forms along the side of the abdominal wall and is relatively rare. It can be difficult to detect because it often does not create a visible bulge.

Symptoms:

  • Localized abdominal pain
  • Tenderness on the side of the abdomen
  • Discomfort with movement

Treatment Options:
Due to the risk of complications, surgical repair is typically recommended. Experienced hernia surgeons at ASA specialize in diagnosing and treating rare hernias.

Obturator Hernia 

An obturator hernia occurs when tissue protrudes through the obturator canal in the pelvic bone. It is rare and most commonly affects elderly, thin women.

Symptoms:

  • Deep pelvic or groin pain
  • Inner thigh pain
  • Symptoms of bowel obstruction

Treatment Options:
This condition usually requires urgent surgical intervention due to the high risk of bowel obstruction. ASA provides prompt diagnosis and advanced surgical care.

Diaphragmatic Hernia 

A diaphragmatic hernia occurs when abdominal organs move into the chest cavity through an opening in the diaphragm.

Symptoms:

  • Shortness of breath
  • Chest or abdominal pain
  • Digestive symptoms

Treatment Options:
Treatment depends on severity and may involve surgical repair, especially for symptomatic or traumatic diaphragmatic hernias. ASA Surgeons offer comprehensive care using advanced surgical techniques.

 Flank Hernia 

A flank hernia is a type of abdominal wall hernia that occurs on the side of the abdomen, between the ribs and the hip. It develops when tissue or organs push through a weakened area of muscle, often after surgery, trauma, or injury. Flank hernias are considered complex and may worsen over time if left untreated.

Symptoms:

  • Visible bulge on the side of the abdomen
  • Pain or aching in the flank area
  • Discomfort that worsens with movement, coughing, or straining
  • Pressure or heaviness in the affected area

Treatment Options:
Flank hernias typically require surgical repair, often using mesh reinforcement for added strength. The experienced hernia surgeons at ASA specialize in complex abdominal wall reconstruction and provide personalized treatment plans.

Lumbar Hernia 

A lumbar hernia is a rare abdominal hernia that forms in the lower back due to weakness in the posterior abdominal wall. It may be congenital or develop later in life following surgery, injury, or muscle degeneration.

Symptoms:

  • Soft bulge in the lower back
  • Lower back or flank pain
  • Discomfort when standing, lifting, or bending
  • Feeling of pressure in the lower back

Treatment Options:
Because lumbar hernias can enlarge and lead to complications, surgical repair is usually recommended. The hernia surgeons at ASA offer both minimally invasive and open surgical techniques based on the patient’s condition.

Morgagni Hernia 

A Morgagni hernia is a rare type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia caused by an opening in the front portion of the diaphragm. This allows abdominal organs, such as the colon or liver, to move into the chest cavity. Many cases are discovered incidentally in adulthood.

Symptoms:

  • Often no noticeable symptoms
  • Shortness of breath
  • Chest discomfort
  • Digestive symptoms such as bloating or reflux

Treatment Options:
Although some Morgagni hernias are asymptomatic, surgical repair is commonly recommended to prevent future complications.

    Hemorrhoids

    Hemorrhoids are a common condition that can cause discomfort, pain, and concern. ASAprovides comprehensive hemorrhoid evaluation and treatment, offering conservative care, minimally invasive procedures, and surgical options when medically necessary. Our providers tailor treatment plans based on each patient’s symptoms and clinical needs.

    Read More

    What Are Hemorrhoids?

    Hemorrhoids are swollen veins located in the lower rectum or around the anus. They are typically caused by increased pressure in the rectal area due to straining, chronic constipation, pregnancy, or prolonged sitting. Hemorrhoids are classified into two main typesbased on their location.

    Types of Hemorrhoids

    Internal Hemorrhoids

    Internal hemorrhoids develop inside the rectum and are often painless.

    Symptoms may include:

    • Bright red rectal bleeding during or after bowel movements

    • A feeling of fullness or pressure

    • Prolapse (hemorrhoidal tissue bulging outside the anus)

    External Hemorrhoids

    External hemorrhoids form under the skin around the anus and are more likely to cause discomfort.

    Symptoms may include:

    • Pain or tenderness

    • Itching or irritation

    • Swelling around the anal area

    • A firm lump if a blood clot forms (thrombosed hemorrhoid)

    Hemorrhoid Treatment Options at ASA

    ASA providers begin with a thorough evaluation to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

    Minimally Invasive Hemorrhoid Procedures

    If symptoms persist despite conservative treatment, ASA may offer outpatient procedures with minimal downtime.

    Minimally invasive options include:

    • Rubber Band Ligation: A small band is placed at the base of an internal hemorrhoid, cutting off blood supply and allowing it to shrink.

    • Sclerotherapy: A medication is injected into the hemorrhoid to promote shrinkage.

    • Infrared Coagulation: Heat energy creates scar tissue that reduces blood flow to the hemorrhoid.

    Surgical Hemorrhoid Treatment

    Surgical treatment may be recommended for severe, recurrent, or complicated hemorrhoids.

    Surgical options may include:

    • Hemorrhoidectomy: Surgical removal of hemorrhoidal tissue, typically used for large or advanced hemorrhoids.

    • Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy: A procedure that repositions prolapsed internal hemorrhoids and reduces blood flow.

    • Thrombectomy: Removal of a blood clot from a thrombosed external hemorrhoid to relieve acute pain.

    When to Seek Care for Hemorrhoids

    You should consider scheduling an appointment with an ASA provider if you experience:

    • Persistent or recurrent rectal bleeding

    • Pain or discomfort that does not improve with home treatment

    • Swelling, prolapse, or a lump around the anus

    • Hemorrhoid symptoms affecting daily activities or quality of life

    Seek prompt medical attention if you experience:

    • Severe pain or sudden swelling

    • Heavy or ongoing rectal bleeding

    • Signs of infection, such as fever or increasing redness

    Rectal bleeding may be caused by conditions other than hemorrhoids. A proper medical evaluation is important to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment.

    Breast surgery may play a critical role in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of breast conditions, including benign disorders and breast cancer. Our team is committed to guiding patients through each step of the process with clarity, respect, and evidence-based recommendations.

    Read More

    Our Medical Approach

    Every patient’s condition, concerns, and goals are unique. At ASA, we emphasize:

    • Accurate diagnosis using advanced surgical and diagnostic methods

    • Personalized treatment planning

    • Minimally invasive techniques whenever appropriate

    • Coordinated care with oncology, radiology, and radiation therapy teams

    Our priority is to support both physical healing and emotional well-being while delivering the highest standard of surgical care.

    Breast Surgery Procedures

    Breast Biopsy

    A breast biopsy involves removing a small sample of breast tissue for diagnostic evaluation. This procedure provides critical information to determine whether a condition is benign or malignant and helps guide appropriate next steps in care.

    Lumpectomy (Breast-Conserving Surgery)

    A lumpectomy removes a breast tumor along with a small margin of surrounding tissue while preserving as much of the breast as possible. This procedure is commonly recommended for early-stage breast cancer and may be combined with radiation therapy based on individual treatment plans.

    Mastectomy (Simple or Radical)

    In certain cases of breast cancer, recurrent disease, or high-risk conditions, a mastectomy may be recommended. This procedure involves the removal of one or both breasts and may include:

    • Simple (Total) Mastectomy

    • Modified Radical or Radical Mastectomy

    Our surgeons carefully evaluate each patient to determine the most appropriate surgical option using current clinical guidelines.

    Axillary Lymph Node Dissection

    This procedure involves the removal of lymph nodes from the underarm area to assess whether cancer has spread beyond the breast. Lymph node evaluation plays an important role in cancer staging and treatment planning.

    Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy / Excision

    A sentinel lymph node biopsy identifies and removes the first lymph node(s) most likely to be affected by cancer spread. This targeted approach often reduces the need for more extensive lymph node surgery and lowers the risk of long-term complications.

    MammoSite® Targeted Radiation Therapy

    MammoSite® is a form of targeted radiation therapy used after lumpectomy in select patients. Radiation is delivered directly to the surgical site, helping limit exposure to healthy tissue while supporting effective cancer treatment and recovery.

    Diastasis Recti Repair (Women & Men)

    Surgical Restoration of Core Integrity and Abdominal Function


    Diastasis recti is a clinically significant separation of the rectus abdominis muscles that affects both women and men. When left untreated, it can compromise core stability, contribute to chronic back pain, postural dysfunction, hernia formation, and reduced quality of life.

    At ASA, our diastasis recti repair program is grounded in evidence-based surgical care, supported by wellness-focused assessment and individualized treatment planning. Our goal is not only cosmetic improvement, but durable restoration of abdominal wall strength and function.

    Read More

    Understanding Diastasis Recti

    Diastasis recti occurs when the linea alba—the connective tissue between the left and right rectus muscles—becomes stretched and weakened, resulting in muscle separation and loss of midline support.

    Contributing Factors

    • Pregnancy and postpartum physiological changes
    • Chronic increases in intra-abdominal pressure
    • Obesity or significant weight fluctuations
    • Improper core loading or heavy lifting
    • Prior abdominal surgery
    • Age-related connective tissue laxity

    Clinical Presentation

    • Midline abdominal bulge or doming
    • Core weakness or instability
    • Chronic lower back or pelvic pain
    • Poor posture and impaired movement mechanics
    • Exercise intolerance or reduced physical performance
    • Associated ventral or umbilical hernias

    Diastasis Recti in Women

    In women, diastasis recti most commonly develops during pregnancy as the abdominal wall adapts to fetal growth. While mild separation may improve postpartum, many patients experience persistent dysfunction that does not resolve with exercise alone.

    Potential Impacts:

    • Ongoing postpartum abdominal protrusion
    • Pelvic floor dysfunction
    • Back pain and fatigue
    • Reduced functional strength
    • Psychological and body image concerns

    Surgical repair may be indicated when conservative management fails or when separation significantly impacts function or quality of life.

    Diastasis Recti in Men

    Diastasis recti in men is frequently underdiagnosed and may be mistaken for central obesity. In reality, it reflects a structural weakness of the abdominal wall that can progress over time.

    Potential Impacts:

    • Loss of core strength and endurance
    • Progressive abdominal protrusion
    • Back pain or postural imbalance
    • Increased risk of hernia development

    Men benefit from the same structured evaluation and surgical precision as female patients, with treatment plans adapted to anatomy and activity demands.

    Comprehensive Surgical Evaluation

    Every patient undergoes a detailed consultation to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

    Assessment Includes:

    • Physical examination of abdominal wall integrity
    • Measurement of muscle separation
    • Evaluation for coexisting hernias
    • Review of symptoms, medical history, and functional limitations
    • Imaging when clinically indicated

    Surgical Treatment Options

    At ASA, diastasis recti repair is performed using minimally invasive techniques whenever appropriate, with an emphasis on safety, precision, and optimal outcomes.

    Robotic-Assisted Repair (da Vinci® System)

    Robotic-assisted diastasis recti repair using the da Vinci® surgical platform allows for enhanced visualization, precision suturing, and meticulous restoration of the abdominal wall.

    Advantages:

    • High-definition 3D visualization
    • Superior precision and control
    • Improved midline reconstruction
    • Reduced tissue trauma
    • Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
    • Potential for faster recovery

    This approach is particularly beneficial for complex repairs, significant separations, or cases involving concurrent hernia repair.

    Laparoscopic Diastasis Recti Repair

    Laparoscopic repair is a minimally invasive option suitable for select patients with appropriate anatomy and clinical indications.

    Advantages:

    • Small incisions
    • Reduced postoperative pain
    • Shorter hospital stay
    • Faster return to daily activities

    The choice between laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery is determined based on clinical findings, patient goals, and surgeon recommendation.

    Personalized Treatment Planning

    Your surgical plan is customized to ensure optimal functional and structural outcomes.

    Treatment May Include:

    • Midline plication of the rectus muscles
    • Reinforcement of the abdominal wall
    • Concurrent hernia repair when indicated
    • Integration of pre- and post-operative core rehabilitation guidance

    Recovery and Postoperative Care

    Recovery protocols are designed to support healing while protecting the repair.

    Postoperative Care Includes:

    • Clear activity and lifting guidelines
    • Gradual return to movement
    • Core stabilization education
    • Follow-up evaluations to monitor healing

    Most patients experience meaningful improvements in strength, posture, and comfort following recovery.

    Benefits of Surgical Diastasis Recti Repair

    • Restored abdominal wall integrity
    • Improved core strength and stability
    • Reduction in back and pelvic pain
    • Enhanced posture and functional movement
    • Long-term structural support
    • Improved abdominal contour

    Colorectal Polyps 
    Colorectal polyps represent mucosal lesions with varying malignant potential and require risk stratification based on histology, size, and number.   

    Diverticular Disease                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Diverticular disease may range from asymptomatic diverticulosis to acute diverticulitis with complications such as abscess, fistula, obstruction, or perforation. Our approach includes endoscopic evaluation, radiographic assessment when indicated, longitudinal surveillance, and surgical intervention for advanced or recurrent disease in accordance with current clinical guidelines.

    Fecal Incontinence
    Fecal incontinence is a multifactorial disorder resulting from impaired anal sphincter integrity, neuromuscular dysfunction, reduced rectal compliance, or altered stool consistency. Evaluation includes detailed history, physical examination, and selective use of diagnostic modalities such as anorectal manometry, endoanal ultrasound, and imaging studies. Treatment is individualized and may involve medical management, pelvic floor rehabilitation, neuromodulation, or surgical reconstruction aimed at restoring continence and functional control.

    Inflammatory Diseases of the Colon
    Inflammatory bowel diseases, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, are chronic immune-mediated conditions characterized by relapsing inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Surgical management is considered for medically refractory disease, complications such as strictures, dysplasia, or malignancy, and for symptom control in advanced cases. We collaborate closely with gastroenterology to ensure coordinated care, with surgical strategies tailored to disease extent, activity, and patient-specific factors.

    Our practice is committed to delivering high-quality colorectal surgical care grounded in clinical rigor, multidisciplinary collaboration, and patient safety. We emphasize informed decision-making and continuity of care throughout the perioperative and recovery process.
