About This Subspecialty
The Texas Center for Hernia and Abdominal Wall Surgery, a subspecialty within the General and Gastrointestinal Surgery Clinic, diagnoses, treats and manages conditions affecting the abdominal wall in adult patients (18 years and older), including hernias, rectus diastasis, mesh complications and chronic groin pain.
Our team provides advanced surgical care, including hernia repair, abdominal wall reconstruction, and minimally invasive and robotic techniques, to restore function, alleviate pain and support your overall health. We are dedicated to delivering expert, patient-centered care to help you recover from hernias and other abdominal wall conditions, regain strength and function, and return to the activities you enjoy.
Our Treatment Approach
At UT Medicine, we take an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to your care. This means you will benefit from the expertise of multiple specialists across a variety of disciplines caring for you in one place — avoiding the need to schedule multiple appointments with providers at locations all over the city.
UT Medicine is anchored by Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin, where we collaborate with colleagues to apply leading-edge research, diagnostic and treatment techniques to the diagnosis and treatment of your condition. Advanced imaging and lab testing are also available on-site if needed.
