Hernia and gallbladder surgery
Robotic operations through small incisions for hernias and gallbladder disease, planned around your condition.
Hernia repair
Which repair is best depends on the hernia's size and location, and on your health. We explain your options at the visit.
- Groin (inguinal) hernias
- Belly button (umbilical) hernias
- Incisional hernias at an earlier surgery site
- Hiatal hernias
Gallbladder removal
Gallstones can cause pain, nausea and inflammation. Removal of the gallbladder is commonly done with minimally invasive techniques, including the robotic approach.
What to expect
We review your history, imaging and symptoms, explain the operation and the recovery, and answer your questions before scheduling.
Frequently asked questions
Do all hernias need surgery?
Not always. Some small hernias without symptoms can be watched. Hernias that cause pain, grow, or cause other problems are usually repaired. Sudden severe pain, vomiting, or a hernia that becomes firm, discolored or cannot be pushed back needs emergency care.
What are the signs of gallbladder disease?
Common signs include pain in the upper right abdomen, often after fatty meals, along with nausea or bloating. Fever, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or severe constant pain needs prompt medical attention.
Will my hernia or gallbladder surgery be robotic?
Often it can be, and the robotic approach is a strength of this practice. The best approach depends on your condition and health, and we talk through it at your visit.
How long is recovery?
It varies with the operation, your health and your job. Dr. Talishinskiy gives you specific instructions on activity, lifting and returning to work at your visit.
