During Open Surgery …
- You will receive anesthesia to not feel the surgery.
- Our team will place intestinal tissue back in its proper place and cover the opening with mesh to prevent future hernias.
- Once repaired, the opening will be closed with stitches.
On average, our patients are off all pain medications 2 weeks after surgery.
Robotic Surgery
To provide you with the optimal recovery and healing, we use robotic repair to create minimal entrance into your body.
If your hernia is the right fit for robotic surgery, the NGPG Provider performing the operation will be looking at a 3D monitor by your side and making the tiniest incisions possible. The camera that is guiding them will be magnifying your hernia for their eyes.
Average Open Surgery Incision: 5-6 inches
Average Robotic Surgery Incision: 1/2 inch
