Subxyifoid Hernia Surgery

As with other hernias in the upper abdomen, subxiphoid hernias can benefit from minimally invasive surgery.

In a subxiphoid hernia procedure, your surgeon will begin by making several small incisions so small instruments can be fed through them and to the site of the hernia. Once it has been located, the surgeon will use a live video feed to identify the hernia and assess its extent.

If the hernia is small, it can usually be closed with sutures. If it is large, surgical mesh may be used to block the hole in an attempt to keep the subxiphoid hernia from recurring. This, however, is not always the case and these hernias can return.

Subxiphoid hernias are difficult to treat, but the team of hernia specialists at Celebration Colorectal has an excellent track record in treating them. They are among the best in the nation in treating subxiphoid hernias using the latest advances in surgery and post operative care.
