Inguinal, umbilical & ventral
Hernia Surgery
Repair of inguinal, umbilical, and ventral hernias with mesh and laparoscopic technique for a safe, lasting recovery.
A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak area of the abdominal wall. Left untreated, it can grow and cause complications. Surgery is the only definitive treatment.
Dr. Carrillo repairs inguinal, umbilical, and ventral hernias with modern techniques and, when appropriate, a laparoscopic approach with mesh placement, reducing pain and the risk of recurrence.
