S03_E19 - The A-Z on Abdominal Hernias
Hernias! They're a lot more common than you think, and in fact over 20 million hernias are repaired every year! All genders and ages - from babies to the elderly - can have a hernia, so it's high time we talked about them on the show. They won't go away on their own, so it's good to know your options if you suspect you have one (or know you already do...).
On episode 19 we'll be joined by Dr. Rachel Payne, MD, a general surgeon and a specialist in hernia repair at Hennepin Healthcare. She'll walk us through the definitions, diagnosis and treatment options for these pesky protrusions. Learn about risk factors, what's happening in the body with a hernia, the different surgical approaches available (including a cool robot), and what the road to recovery is like once you're all patched up. Join us!
