About this event

  • 1 hour

Do you have a nagging ache in your belly or groin that you think may be a hernia? If so, don’t ignore it. While it may be causing only slight discomfort now, hernias do not go away on their own and need a medical evaluation to determine the type and severity and give you a timeline for repair – if needed.

To learn what hernias are, their causes, symptoms, and most importantly, the treatment options available today, join General Surgeon Taylor Coleman, MD, as he explains the anatomy behind these protrusions, their potential risk factors, and the latest advancements in surgical techniques for hernia repair.

A Q & A session will follow the presentation.
