The Hernia Institute of Louisiana, founded by Dr. David C. Treen in 1999, was developed in response to the perception that advanced techniques for the repair of common hernias, as well as major abdominal wall reconstructive procedures, were needed in our region. Since the opening of the Hernia Institute, a practice focused upon excellence in hernia repair and abdominal wall reconstruction, Dr. Treen has brought the latest and most advanced hernia repair techniques to New Orleans.
