Hernia Center

Our team of fellowship-trained pediatric surgeons evaluate and treat roughly 500 children with hernias and hydroceles every year. As the only team of pediatric surgeons in the state, we are specially trained to treat all ages of children, offering minimally invasive surgery options (laparoscopy, small incisions) to even the smallest of patients. 

Hernias are usually considered "congenital" meaning a child is born with a certain type of hernia. Children's hernias are different than adult hernias and require expertise in congenital conditions and the surgical experience to treat hernias in newborns and small children.
