Hernia Surgery

The larger the hernia, the more likely it is to cause pain and complications — and require surgery. The Iowa Clinic's general surgeons routinely take out hernias, patch you up and get you back to living and moving again. Trust our team to fix your hernia, wherever it is.

Hernia Conditions We Treat

Hernias happen when an underlying weakness — or one caused by trauma — creates an opening in your muscles and connective tissue. They may appear in your gut, groin, hips, chest or upper thighs. If your hernia hasn't gone away and has caused you problems, we're here to help.

Hernia Treatments & Procedures We Provide

With hernias, there's always a chance it comes back. Your doctor will choose the right surgery for you — whether it's open, laparoscopic or robotic — based on the size and type of the hernia.
