Inguinal Hernia
Occurs in the groin and is one of the most common hernia types.
A hernia can start as a small bulge or occasional pressure and become harder to ignore over time. At Florida Surgery And Weight Loss Center in Hollywood, Dr. Sergey Terushkin, MD, FACS evaluates and treats common abdominal wall hernias with individualized surgical care.
Hollywood is our primary location. We also see patients from Hallandale Beach, Dania Beach, Aventura, Pembroke Pines, Fort Lauderdale, Miramar, Davie, Plantation and nearby South Florida communities.
Self-pay hernia surgery ranges from approximately $5,500–$12,500, depending on the type and complexity of the repair. Please call (954) 551-3508 to confirm current pricing and what is included in your surgical quote.
If a hernia is painful, getting larger, limiting activity, or simply making you nervous, the first step is figuring out what type of hernia you have and whether surgery is appropriate now.
Hernias generally do not repair themselves. Surgery repairs the abdominal wall defect. Dr. Terushkin performs both robotic and laparoscopic hernia repair, and the best technique depends on location, size, prior operations and individual clinical factors.

Robotic and laparoscopic minimally invasive hernia surgery with Dr. Sergey Terushkin at Florida Surgery And Weight Loss Center in Hollywood, FL.
A hernia occurs when tissue pushes through a weak area in the abdominal wall.
Some hernias cause a visible bulge. Others are noticed because of pressure, aching, pulling or discomfort with standing, coughing, lifting or exercise.
A surgical evaluation helps determine the type of hernia, how urgent treatment may be, and which repair approach fits the patient.
Occurs in the groin and is one of the most common hernia types.
Develops around the belly button and may become more noticeable with pressure or straining.
Occurs through a weak area in the abdominal wall and can vary considerably in size.
Develops at or near the site of a previous abdominal surgical incision.
Common locations of inguinal, umbilical, ventral and incisional hernias treated by Dr. Sergey Terushkin, MD, FACS in Hollywood, FL.
Dr. Terushkin performs both robotic and laparoscopic hernia surgery. Neither approach is automatically right for every patient—the goal is to choose the technique that best fits the hernia and safely repairs the abdominal wall defect.
Dr. Terushkin performs robotic hernia repair and laparoscopic hernia repair. Both are minimally invasive approaches performed through small incisions. Robotic surgery may provide additional instrument articulation and visualization for selected repairs, while conventional laparoscopy remains an effective minimally invasive option for many patients. The recommended approach is individualized rather than chosen from the procedure name alone.
The plan depends on hernia type, size, symptoms, previous surgery, overall health and whether mesh or another repair technique is appropriate.
A minimally invasive option using robotic-assisted instruments controlled by Dr. Terushkin. It may be useful for selected abdominal wall and complex repairs when clinically appropriate.
A well-established minimally invasive option using a camera and specialized instruments through small incisions. It remains appropriate for many common hernia repairs.
Patients usually want to know when they can work, drive, exercise and lift again.
Soreness and fatigue are common. Gentle walking is generally part of early recovery instructions.
Desk work may be possible sooner than work involving lifting, repetitive bending or strenuous activity.
Do not drive while taking impairing pain medication or until you can safely react and move without significant limitation.
Restrictions vary by repair. Follow your surgeon’s instructions rather than another patient’s timeline.
“Recovery is individual—follow your surgeon’s instructions closely. Doing so supports proper healing and helps reduce the risk of complications.”Dr. Sergey Terushkin, MD, FACS

Yes. Dr. Sergey Terushkin performs both robotic and laparoscopic hernia repair in Hollywood, FL. The surgical approach is selected according to the hernia type, size, location, prior operations and individual clinical factors rather than using one technique for every patient.
A true abdominal wall hernia generally does not close on its own. Symptoms can fluctuate, but surgery is the definitive way to repair the defect. Timing depends on the individual hernia.
No. Timing depends on the type, symptoms, size, overall health and risk of complications. A surgical evaluation helps determine whether repair is recommended and when.
There is no single best approach for every hernia. Dr. Terushkin performs both robotic and laparoscopic repair. The choice depends on the hernia type, size, location, whether it is recurrent, prior abdominal surgery and other individual factors.
Laparoscopic hernia repair is a minimally invasive technique performed through several small incisions using a camera and specialized instruments. Dr. Terushkin performs laparoscopic repair when it is appropriate for the individual hernia.
Robotic hernia repair is also minimally invasive and uses small incisions, a camera and robotic-assisted instruments controlled by the surgeon. Dr. Terushkin performs robotic repair when it offers an appropriate approach for the patient and hernia.
Many straightforward repairs can be completed within a relatively short operation, but the exact time depends on the hernia type, size, complexity and technique.
The purpose of hernia surgery is to repair the abdominal wall—not cosmetic body contouring. Appearance may change after repair and swelling resolves, but a flatter stomach is not the primary goal.
Recurrence is possible after any hernia repair. Hernia size, tissue quality, smoking, obesity, wound complications, activity and other factors can affect risk.
Sudden severe pain, vomiting, inability to pass stool or gas, a painful bulge that cannot be reduced, or concerning skin color changes over a hernia can require urgent evaluation. Seek emergency care when symptoms are severe or rapidly worsening.
Many plans cover medically necessary hernia repair, but benefits and authorization requirements vary. Our office can verify your specific insurance information.
