Abdominal Hernia Repair
Mansfield, Arlington, Ft Worth

Dr. Michael Thornton performs abdominal hernia repair and the following hernia operation procedures:

• Umbilical hernia

• Ventral / Incisional hernia

• Laparoscopic hernia repair

• Inguinal hernia / Groin hernia / Femoral hernia
  

• Recurrent hernia / Revision hernia
  

• Infected mesh hernia
  

• Complex hernia / Abdominal wall reconstruction

• Component separation / Rives-Stoppa hernia repair

Following abdominal surgery, gallbladder surgery, c-sections, or bariatric surgery, the muscles and protective fascia of the abdominal wall may thin and separate, thus causing various forms of abdominal hernias to develop.  Medical insurance will cover the cost of incisional hernia, ventral hernia, groin hernia, inguinal hernia, and umbilical repair.  Dr. Thornton accepts Medicare and all major medical insurance network plans for hernia repair surgery.
