Incisional hernias occur when a weakness in the muscle of the abdomen allows tissue to protrude through the muscle or due to an incision made during abdominal surgery. The condition is most common in obese and pregnant patients, as well as those with a history of past abdominal surgeries. At first, the hernia appears as a bulge under the skin or scar tissue from a past procedure, and can be painful or tender to the touch. In severe cases, they may even involve portions of organs moving through the hole in the muscle. 

At the Beverly Hills Hernia Center, Dr. Towfigh is able to diagnose an incisional hernia upon a thorough examination, as the condition is usually evidenced by a soft bulge underneath or next to the scar site. Her unparalleled experience has led to a level of expertise that is unmatched within the field. Without surgical treatment, incisional hernias tend to grow over time – and the larger one grows, the more difficult it is to repair, leading to an increased risk of recurrence.  That's why early detection is essential – and to ensure a hernia is detected upon initial examination, it is always wise to contact Dr. Towfigh. Depending on the details of each patient's issue, she'll utilize ultrasounds, CT scans or simply her own trained eye and touch to uncover hernias.

Laparoscopic surgery performed by Dr. Towfigh can alleviate the condition with a smaller incision and less post-operative pain than traditional open surgery.  The treatment also holds an unusually high success rate and involves a minimal recovery period, particularly for patients who walk and perform mild physical activity to help circulation and respiratory function.
