Most hernias aren’t life threatening, but they don’t go away on their own. Pain and discomfort can occur and even more serious conditions, including the need for emergency surgery, if left untreated.
Sacred Heart Hospital Emerald Coast is conducting a free hernia-screening event on Tuesday, April 9, from 3 to 5 p.m. in the hospital’s Medical Office Building (MOB). The MOB is located adjacent to Sacred Heart Hospital at 7800 U.S. Hwy. 98, West, Miramar Beach, FL, 32550.
Dr. William Haney, board-certified general surgeon, will perform screenings for hernias of the groin and abdomen and discuss treatment options if appropriate. Follow-up appointment scheduling will be available at the event if needed.
There will be educational information available throughout the event to learn about the signs and symptoms of a hernia, the importance of early detection and the latest minimally invasive procedure for repair available. Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in a hands-on demonstration of Sacred Heart’s newest robotic-assisted technology, the da Vinci Xi Surgical System which will be on-site for the event.
