Dr Layani (pictured below) and Dr Silverman, leaders in the field of laparoscopic hernia repair, operate the Hernia Repair Centre from both John Flynn Private Hospital and Tweed Public Hospital.

Specialists in a range of hernia operations, the Hernia Repair Centre can treat the following types of hernias:

• Inguinal Hernias
• Hiatus Hernias
• Femoral Hernias
• Umbilical Hernias
• Epigastric Hernias
• Incisional Hernias
• Spigelian Hernias
• Obturator Hernias

Hernia surgery options include either laparoscopic hernia repairs or open surgery, with the laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery the most common form. Hernia symptoms include swelling in the abdomen or an uncomfortable feeling in your gut when extending yourself, with discomfort or pain felt when bending, stretching or lifting heavy items.
