At the Nebraska Medical Center Dr.’s Dmitry Oleynikov, Corrigan McBride and Matthew Goede repair these hernias laparoscopically.  Three small incisions are cut at and below the belly button.  A mesh patch is used to strengthen the diaphragm and prevent re-occurrence.  Most patients are able to go home after a 23-hour observation.
