Ventral hernia repair is a surgical procedure that closes a gap or weakness in the abdominal wall through which tissue or part of the intestine has begun to bulge. The term 'ventral hernia' covers several types — including umbilical hernias (at the navel), epigastric hernias (between the navel and breastbone), and incisional hernias (at the site of a previous abdominal scar). Surgery is the only definitive treatment, as the defect cannot close on its own. The operation can be performed through a traditional open incision, through small keyhole incisions using a laparoscope, or with robotic-assisted instruments. In most cases, a sheet of surgical mesh is placed to reinforce the repair and reduce the chance of recurrence. Recovery time depends on the size of the hernia and the approach used, ranging from a same-day discharge for small repairs to several days in hospital for larger or more complex cases.
The surgeon makes a single incision directly over the hernia to close the defect and place mesh, and is the preferred approach for large, complex, or recurrent hernias.
Estimated cost: ~$200 – $500
