Multiple Prior Failed Hernia Surgeries
Patients who have undergone one or more hernia repairs that have recurred or resulted in complications. We specialize in the complex anatomy that results from repeated operations.

Advanced abdominal wall reconstruction for recurrent hernias, loss of domain, and infected or failed mesh repairs. Evaluations available within 24–48 hours. Upload your CT scan for rapid surgeon review.
This program specializes in redo, high-risk, and technically demanding cases — but we welcome all hernia patients, from straightforward primary repairs to the most complex reconstructions. Whether it's your first hernia or your fifth surgery, this is where you belong.
Patients who have undergone one or more hernia repairs that have recurred or resulted in complications. We specialize in the complex anatomy that results from repeated operations.
Massive abdominal wall defects following prior surgery, trauma, or infection — cases that require advanced reconstructive planning beyond standard repair techniques.
When abdominal contents can no longer be safely returned to the abdominal cavity, requiring staged reconstruction and specialized preoperative preparation.
Mesh infection, migration, erosion, or chronic mesh pain syndrome. We have deep experience in mesh explantation and definitive reconstruction after mesh failure.
Abnormal connections between the bowel and skin arising from prior failed repairs — among the most technically demanding cases in abdominal wall surgery.
Patients who have been turned away by other programs. We evaluate cases others decline and provide honest, expert assessment of what is achievable.
Not sure if your case qualifies? Our team reviews every inquiry personally.
We built this program around the cases that other centers turn away. Every element — from our surgical team composition to our preoperative planning process — is designed for complexity.
"Most programs offer expert general surgery or reconstructive plastic surgery. Complex reconstruction demands both — and that is exactly what we provide."
— Program Philosophy
Our affiliated surgeons have dedicated their practice to the most technically demanding hernia cases — patients who have already failed one or more prior repairs and present with altered, scarred anatomy.
Prior operations change everything. Scar tissue, mesh remnants, and distorted tissue planes require a surgeon who has navigated these challenges hundreds of times — not one encountering them for the first time.
Anterior and posterior component separation (including TAR — transversus abdominis release), hybrid open-laparoscopic reconstruction, and robotic-assisted complex repair. We deploy the right technique for each patient's anatomy.
The defining differentiator of this program. Most centers offer expert general surgery or reconstructive plastic surgery — rarely both. Complex abdominal wall reconstruction demands both to restore structural integrity and functional quality of life.
Key DifferentiatorIn-depth educational articles written for patients and referring physicians — covering the full spectrum of complex hernia conditions and surgical approaches.
The most common technical and biological causes of recurrent hernia after surgery.
Recognizing the warning signs that a hernia has returned or developed complications.
When standard repair is no longer sufficient — advanced techniques and indications.
Infected mesh, mesh migration, chronic pain, and when explantation is necessary.
When the hernia has become larger than the abdominal cavity — management strategies.
Preoperative optimization and what to expect from a revision hernia operation.
Our affiliated surgeons hold privileges at 30+ hospitals and surgery centers across the New York metropolitan area and New Jersey — ensuring access wherever you are.
