Hernia Repair

Hernia repair is one of the most common general surgical procedures and one of the most prevalent occupational injuries, usually associated with lifting heavy objects or other manual labor.  HEALTHPOINTE hernia repair is usually done on an outpatient basis and involves a tension-free surgical technique utilizing the Bard Modified Kugel patch.

This procedure for hernia repair is specifically designed to eliminate tension and strain on surrounding muscles and ligaments, reducing postoperative pain. After a 4 cm to 6 cm incision is made, the patch is positioned so that the body’s own pressure holds it in place. Surgery with the Bard Modified Kugel patch minimizes the risk of hernia recurrence and complications. The quicker recovery time associated with this procedure allows employees to get back to work quickly. In some cases, a hernia may require a larger operation.

HEALTHPOINTE offers an all inclusive price for hernia repair, which includes the physicians’ professional fees and the facility costs.
