Our Specialties

Chronic Pain

Treatment of chronic pain after hernia repair can be complicated. But it can be treated.

Mesh Complications

We treat mesh-related pain, mesh-reactions, and mesh infections.

Laparoscopic & Robotic

In many cases, laparoscopic or robotic-assisted techniques can provide improved outcome and recovery. Most of our repairs use this technology.

Non-Mesh Repairs

Not all patients benefit from mesh repair. We believe in non-mesh tissue repair for many women, thin, and some younger patients.

Interesting surgical education talk @PCSAsurg headed by @AlexSchwed and the @HarborUCLASurg team.

Some of the slides that I enjoyed were rating the importance and effectiveness of resident education activities: resident vs attending perception.

I’m not a pancreatic surgeon, but I really enjoyed the talk presented by @Lalehforoutani and the @UCSFSurgery team at @PCSAsurg .

It nicely showed how video-based assessment of surgery can tease out variability in surgical technique that is not captured in an operative report.

Our prolific research fellow and premedical student Ian Kim just presented the most perfect talk @PCSAsurg

This is his second year on the podium #PCSA2025 and #PCSA2026, which is no small feat.

Congratulations, Ian!

Wow! @StanfordMed @StanfordSurgery Dr Stephanie Seale with @LiebertCara and her team took the same CV and uploaded it to AI to write a letter of recommendation for a male and a female applicant. The outcome was interesting;
