Hernia Surgery & Care
Dr. Ngo specializes in minimally invasive hernia surgery. Using state-of-the-art surgical instruments including a surgical camera (laparoscope), Dr. Ngo is able to typically repair a hernia or multiple hernias in a patient using safe and proven hernia mesh through several small incisions. The procedures typically last less than an hour and the vast majority of patients are able to go home the same day. Other benefits of minimally invasive hernia surgery compared to conventional open hernia surgery include:
- Less pain
- No restriction of post-surgical activities
- Shorter recovery periods
- Patients with bilateral inguinal hernias can have both sides repaired through the same incisions used for a single-sided repair
- Lower infection rates with laparoscopic umbilical/ventral/incisional hernia repairs
