How common are hernias?
Overall, hernias are common, though some types are more common than others. Inguinal hernias affect around 25% of all men. Hiatal hernias affect around 20% of people in the U.S. and 50% over the age of 50. Congenital hernias occur in about 15% of newborns, mostly umbilical. Incisional hernias make up about 10% of hernias, and all other types make up another 10%.
At the Digestive Health Institute by Dr. Muffi, we offer minimally invasive hernia repair using laparoscopic or robotic techniques, which means:
