Experience matters when choosing a hernia surgeon. With more than 3,000 robotic surgeries performed, Dr. Khosravi provides advanced hernia repair using modern minimally invasive techniques and individualized treatment planning.
The wall of the abdomen has natural areas of potential weakness. Hernias can develop at these or other areas due to heavy strain on the abdominal wall, aging, injury, an old incision or a weakness present from birth. Anyone can develop a hernia at any age. Most hernias in children are congenital. In adults, a natural weakness or strain from heavy lifting, persistent coughing, difficulty with bowel movements or urination can cause the abdominal wall to weaken or separate.
Laparoscopic Hernia Repair is a technique to fix tears in the abdominal wall (muscle) using small incisions, telescopes, and a patch (mesh). It may offer a quicker return to work and normal activities with a decreased pain for some patients.
Do you have a bulge in your abdomen that has grown over time? Have you always had this or did it start after a previous surgery? Is the bulge uncomfortable or cause you pain?
Approximately 90,000 ventral hernia repairs are performed each year in the United States. Many are performed by the conventional “open” method. Some are performed laparoscopically. If Dr. Khosravi has recommended a laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, this website can help you understand what a hernia is and more about the treatment.
Do you have a bulge in your groin that seems to be growing over time? Have you always had it or developed it after doing some lifting? Do you have a bulge again after having had a previous groin hernia repair?
Approximately 600,000 hernia repair operations are performed annually in the United States. Many are performed by the conventional “open” method. Some hernia repairs are performed using a small telescope known as a laparoscope. If Dr. Khosravi has recommended a laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, this website can help you understand what a hernia is and about the treatment.
Da Vinci hernia repair is performed using the da Vinci Surgical System. It is a state-of-the-art surgical platform that provides surgeons with 3D, high-definition vision of your anatomy and its patented instruments provide a range of motion far beyond the abilities of the human hand. By overcoming the limits of both traditional open and laparoscopic surgery, da Vinci is changing the experience of surgery for people around the world. Using the most advanced technology available, the da Vinci System enables your doctor to perform this delicate operation with breakthrough precision, superior vision, dexterity, and improved access to the abdomen. If your doctor recommends surgery to treat a hernia, you may be a candidate for a safe, effective and minimally invasive procedure.
Dr. Khosravi is a native of Southern California and a board-certified general surgeon. After completing his undergraduate training in Neuroscience at UCLA, he went to medical school at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. He completed his post-graduate training at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and Sinai Hospital of Baltimore in surgery. Subsequently, he completed a fellowship in advanced robotic surgery at Hackensack University in New Jersey. As the only fellowship council-approved training program of its kind, Dr. Khosravi is trained to perform robotic surgery on a variety of general surgery conditions. He is a member of multiple professional societies, publications, and presentations at national societies in the area of robotic surgery. He is currently the medical director of robotic surgery at St. Joseph’s hospital of Orange.
