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.
Pediatric surgeons use their expertise in providing surgical care for all problems or conditions in children that require surgical intervention.
An umbilical hernia happens when a part of a child’s abdominal wall does not close at birth and appears as a bulge that is seen near your child's navel (belly button).
Epigastric hernias occur when there is a tiny opening in the muscles between the breastbone and the belly button and can be treated with minimally invasive surgery.
A groin hernia happens when organs or abdominal tissue push through a hole in your child's abdominal wall where the thigh meets the trunk.
