Hernia Care at Danbury Hospital: Why choose us?

At Danbury Hospital, we provide excellent care for all hernia types, from routine to complex. Our nationally recognized surgeons specialize in advanced hernia repair techniques. Here’s why our program stands out:

  • Minimally invasive surgery

    Center of Excellence Robotic Surgery Award SealWe frequently use robotic-assisted surgery such as the Da Vinci robotic-assisted system, to repair hernias with small incisions, leading to quicker recovery times and less post-surgical discomfort. By adhering to evidence-based practices, our surgeons achieve excellent results. This commitment to quality has earned many Nuvance Health hospitals the prestigious Center of Excellence designation from the Surgical Review Corporation.

  • Complex hernia repair
    Danbury Hospital is one of the few centers in the region equipped to treat severe and recurrent hernia cases. Some of our surgeons have undergone advanced training in complex hernia repairs, including large, recurring hernias. We are proud to help patients who have endured long-term symptoms find effective and lasting solutions. Discover more about our complex hernia repair services, including abdominal wall reconstruction.
  • Safety
    Our approach to hernia surgery often involves the use of surgical mesh, a trusted material that helps reinforce the abdominal tissue during healing. At Danbury Hospital, we use only high-quality mesh products that meet our strict safety standards, with a proven track record of success. Thanks to our experienced team, very few patients experience complications such as infections or adverse reactions.

Hernias often require surgery, but visiting a hernia specialist doesn't mean you'll end up with a surgery date. Ultimately, the timing of surgery is up to you. We provide the information and support you need to make the best decision for your situation. You’ll undergo a comprehensive evaluation, which may include imaging studies. We’ll explain the type and severity of your hernia and discuss your options. If your hernia is small and asymptomatic, you might choose to delay surgery. However, for more complex cases, having surgery sooner can help alleviate symptoms and prevent complications, such as damage to the intestines.
