What Makes a Hernia Complex?
Hernias are considered complex when standard repair techniques are insufficient due to factors such as prior failed surgery, infection, extensive scar tissue, large defects, loss of abdominal domain, or significant patient comorbidities. These cases require specialized expertise in abdominal wall reconstruction rather than routine hernia repair.
Our Role as a Referral Center
Many of our patients are referred by other surgeons after previous hernia repairs have failed or when the anticipated complexity exceeds what can be safely managed in a general surgical setting. As a tertiary and quaternary referral center, we routinely manage the most challenging abdominal wall problems.
How We Tackle Complex Hernias
Our surgeons specialize exclusively in abdominal wall surgery and employ advanced techniques including component separation, complex mesh reconstruction, staged repair strategies, and individualized operative planning based on patient anatomy and risk profile.
