Ask an Expert: A Live Q&A Series | A Surgeon's Guide to Hernias
Join us for another edition of TGH's "Ask an Expert: A Live Q&A Series" event where our subject matter experts in hernia repair will take your pre-submitted & live questions.
Description
A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak area in the muscle or connective tissue that normally holds it in place-- usually in the abdominal wall or groin. Studies estimate a lifetime risk of about 27% in men and 3% in women, making hernia repair one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Join us as two fellowship-trained, board-certified surgeons specializing in hernia repair and abdominal wall surgery delve into this topic. Monica Polcz, MD, MS, and Salvatore Docimo, Jr., DO, MBA, will lead an informative discussion covering everything from diagnosis to treatment options and surgical approaches to recovery expectations.
Dr. Polcz and Dr. Docimo will answer your pre-submitted and live questions, providing a comprehensive information session on this topic.
