Hernias often require surgery. But seeing a hernia specialist doesn’t always mean you’ll end up with a surgery date. The decision of when to have surgery is yours. We give you the information and support to make the right choice for your needs. You undergo a thorough evaluation that may include imaging studies. We explain the type of hernia, how severe it is and what you can do about it. If it’s small and not causing symptoms, you may opt to delay a repair procedure. For complex hernias, getting surgery sooner can help you feel better and avoid complications, like intestine damage.
