A nationally recognized leader in the diagnosis and repair of adult and pediatric hernias

Welcome to the Tulane Hernia Center, a nationally recognized leader in the repair of adult and pediatric hernias. Our surgeons specialize in the repair of all types of hernias, from the common to the complex, and have performed thousands of hernia surgeries.

A hernia can cause discomfort and can keep you from work or from participating in activities that you enjoy, yet many people avoid having their hernia repaired due to concerns about the procedure or the inconvenience it will cause. Fortunately, with the development of new surgical techniques and materials, this common ailment can now be corrected on an outpatient basis. At the Tulane Hernia Center each patient completes a comprehensive evaluation with a board-certified surgeon to determine the treatment option that is best for them in order to avoid a recurrent hernia or future complications. Our goal is to ensure the most effective result with the least discomfort, and a quick return to everyday activities.
