Cardinal Santos Medical Center has long delivered advanced hernia care recognized by the Asia Pacific Hernia Society (APHS) and the Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Surgeons of Asia (ELSA)—and soon, this expertise takes shape in a dedicated center—the CSMC Hernia and Abdominal Wall Center.
At CSMC, we provide the full spectrum of hernia solutions — from open and endoscopic procedures to laparoscopic techniques, and soon, with robotic-assisted hernia surgery. Our goal is simple: deliver the most appropriate, least invasive, and most effective treatment for every patient.
What sets The CSMC Hernia and Abdominal Wall Center apart is not just technology, but expertise. We are the only hospital-based hernia center in the country offering advanced hernia training programs through the Philippine Center for Advanced Surgery (PCAS). Our program has been accredited by the APHS since 2015, a distinction that also recognizes CSMC as a Center of Excellence in Hernia Care.
With a strong foundation in surgical education, innovation, and patient-centered care, The CSMC Hernia and Abdominal Wall Center stands at the forefront of hernia management in the region.
We are also the only training center and hospital accredited by the ELSA as a center of excellence in laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery.
