At Florida Bariatric and Plastic Surgery MD, we provide advanced, minimally invasive hernia repair for patients throughout Fort Lauderdale. Our highly trained surgical team treats both simple and complex abdominal hernias using laparoscopic and robotic techniques designed for less pain, smaller incisions, and a faster return to normal activities.
If you are experiencing discomfort, a bulge, or symptoms of a hernia, our specialists are here to help — both in-person and through telehealth appointments.
We repair all abdominal wall hernias, including:
Inguinal Hernias (Groin)
The most common type; typically a bulge or
pressure in the groin region.
Umbilical Hernias
Often seen near the navel when intestine or fatty tissue pushes through muscle.
Ventral Hernias
Form anywhere along the abdominal wall and can increase in size over time.
Incisional Hernias
Occur at the site of previous surgery due to weakened scar tissue.
Hiatal Hernias
When the upper stomach slips into the chest through the diaphragm, often causing reflux.
Femoral Hernias
Less common, typically near the upper thigh.
Every hernia is different — our surgeons perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine the best surgical solution for long-term success.
Many patients avoid treatment because they fear painful recovery.
Today, that’s often not the case.
Our laparoscopic and robotic approaches use small incisions, allowing:
✅ Less pain
✅ Minimal scarring
✅ Same-day discharge
✅ Faster recovery
✅ Lower infection risk
✅ Return to normal activity within days
Most patients resume walking, driving, and light activity shortly after their procedure.
Hernia repair is usually covered by insurance when medically necessary. Most Florida health plans (Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, UHC, Medicare) include the consultation, diagnostic tests, surgeon, anesthesia, and hospital fees.
