Expert Hernia Surgery in Lakeland, Florida

Dr. Zachary Boucher

When it comes to hernia repair, experience matters.

As a high-volume hernia surgeon in Lakeland, Florida, I have dedicated my practice to providing both routine and complex hernia surgeries for patients across Lakeland, Central Florida, and beyond. I am proud to operate at Lakeland Regional Health, the only Trauma Center in the tri-county area and one of the region’s leading hospitals.

My Approach to Hernia Care

I believe that every hernia repair — whether inguinal (groin), ventral (abdominal wall), hiatal (stomach), or more complex recurrent and large hernias — deserves a tailored, patient-centered approach. My surgical philosophy combines the latest minimally invasive and robotic techniques with a focus on safety, durability, and getting patients back to their lives as quickly as possible.

Types of Hernias I Treat

I routinely repair:

  • Inguinal hernias (groin hernias)
  • Umbilical hernias
  • Incisional hernias (from prior surgeries)
  • Complex and recurrent abdominal wall hernias
  • Hiatal Hernias (stomach hernias)

Being a high-volume hernia specialist, many of my patients are referred to me from across Florida for complex abdominal wall reconstruction, often involving specialized mesh techniques and collaboration with our hospital’s advanced care team.

Why Choose Lakeland Regional Health?

Operating at Lakeland Regional Health means patients have access to:

  • State-of-the-art surgical technology, including robotic surgery platforms
  • Comprehensive pre- and post-operative care
  • The only Trauma Center in the tri-county area
  • Convenient location for patients throughout Polk County and Central Florida

Robotic & Minimally Invasive Hernia Surgery in Central Florida

I use advanced robotic surgery platforms to offer minimally invasive hernia repairs. This technology often allows:

  • Smaller incisions
  • Shorter hospital stays
  • Reduced pain medication needs (often no need for ANY narcotics after surgery)
  • Quicker return to normal activity

For many patients in Lakeland, Winter Haven, Plant City, Tampa, Orlando, and across Central Florida, this means they can receive big-city surgical expertise without leaving the region.

Complex Abdominal Wall Reconstruction

Some hernias — especially recurrent or very large hernias — require advanced techniques. I work closely with a multidisciplinary team to perform abdominal wall reconstruction, which may involve mesh removal, component separation, and restoring strength to the abdominal muscles. Many of these surgeries can still be done robotically with small incisions to minimize wound complications and downtime. Patients are often referred to me from across Florida for these challenging cases.
