Hernia Surgery

A hernia occurs when tissue bulges out through an opening in the muscles. Any part of the abdominal wall can weaken and develop a hernia, but the most common sites are the groin (inguinal), the navel (umbilical) and a previous surgical incision site.

An incision is made near the site and the hernia is repaired with mesh or by suturing (sewing) the muscle closed. An operation is the only way to repair a hernia. You can return to your normal activities and in most cases will not have further discomfort.

Surgeon
Wound Care Specialist

As an independent practice, we are committed to providing patients in our community the best care at the lowest possible cost. One way to do this is by providing care in an ambulatory surgical center; where on average the cost of care is half of that provided in a hospital affiliated facility. While most of our patients needs are taken care of in our facility, there are times where hospital care is necessary; this is why, Dr. Conrad maintains hospital-based privileges. At South Sound Surgery we serve our community by providing the highest level of care, focusing on each patient individual needs.
