Muscle Plication and Hernia Repair


It is quite common to see patients in our office who present with a chief complaint of either and umbilical hernia, and incisional hernia from a prior c-section, as well as myofascial weakness. Typically these patients which to undergo repair of their hernia and also have their myofascial weakness repaired at the same time. Quite commonly many women have weakness of their abomdinal wall from prior childbirth. At the time of hernia repair we can also reconstruct the muscles of the abdominal wall to improve the appearance and contour of the abdomen.
