Utah Hernia Surgery specializes in the repair and treatment of inguinal hernias in Ogden. Inguinal hernias occur when tissue bulges through a weakened area in the muscle of the groin. This type of hernia is common, accounting for about 75% of all hernias, and is more prevalent in men. Symptoms include a bulge in the groin or scrotum, burning sensation or pain at the bulge, heaviness in the groin, and pain during coughing, bending, or lifting. Risk factors for developing inguinal hernias include being overweight, having a persistent cough, and consistent strain on the body.

Utah Hernia Surgery offers inguinal hernia repair using minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. This technique involves making small incisions in the abdomen to access and repair the hernia using mesh for reinforcement. Laparoscopic surgery results in quicker recovery time, less discomfort after surgery, and smaller incisions compared to traditional open tension surgery. Dr. Kyle Dunning specializes in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair and provides expert care to patients.

Patients can schedule an appointment with Dr. Dunning through the website or contact Utah Hernia Surgery directly. The clinic is located at Ogden Clinic | Professional Center North, 4650 S. Harrison Blvd., Ogden, UT 84403, and operates from Monday to Friday between 8 am and 5 pm.
