Can a Hernia Come Back after Surgery | What is the chance of a Hernia Recurrence - Dr. Parthasarathy

[@donmulder8061]

Good video. I met with my surgeon two weeks before my surgery and I'll share what I learned from him. He told me the biggest difference between laparoscopic and open repair would be in time to return to physical activity (two weeks for laparoscopic versus minimum 6 weeks for open). Both involve some level of post surgery pain and and both share similar recurrence rates of 1 to 3% according to him. Laparoscopic is less invasive and thus has a shorter painful period following surgery and recovery time. The biggest factor for recurrence (all other things aside like patient health and compliance with healing restrictions, lifestyle, surgeon experience etc) is mesh versus no-mesh. That is the one decision a patient can make to lessen likelihood of recurrence regarding options for inguinal surgery besides resting for 6 weeks -- opting for mesh. The downside of using mesh is there is an apparent higher likelihood of some chronic pain that ranges from minor to debilitating although the debilitating chronic pain is becoming less likely given advances in techniques and mesh material. So I am now ten days into my recovery having had open inguinal mesh surgery (and I had a small umbilical hernia repaired since I was under anesthesia that did not require mesh due to small size). I am just walking around the house but not lifting anything to allow to heal. I am using stool softener to lessen straining with bowel movements. I am an active person who works out every day and remind myself that the most people who come to KZbin and watch hernia videos and make comments are those who are nervous or who had problems (the 1 to 3% plus the nervous people like me). I will continue to heal slowly like Dr P suggests, taking care of myself and comfort myself that my decision to use mesh was wise as it significantly reduces the likelihood of recurrence. In 6 weeks I will go back to the gym to continue being healthy and fit and my surgeon says from that point on to cut my weight training in half then slowly build up over time and I should return to normal with minimal likelihood of recurrence (100% - 1 to 3% = 97%). Optimism.

I am 8 weeks post surgery for upper gastric meshhernia repair. I think the importance is to if possible find out what the initial cause was? For me it was severe ibs and my stomach swelled so bad that the inner pressure tore open an area in my upper stomach and out came a lipid hernia. From now on I watch my diet, eat small and regular and avoid stress. I also think the after care is most important on whether or not the hernia repair heals properly. I have not forced my self to lift things that were heavier than around 7lbs, the first 6 weeks I would even lift my cat or a 4pint of milk. Fortunately I have home help. Also getting up out of bed the correct way and lying flat when sleeping to ensure your abdomen relaxes and this helps heal the incision area. Just being gentle with yourself. 😊

Two years and mine is back......but not exactly in the same spot No heavy lifting,no coughing,no diabetes here: i am quite devastated! I do not want a second op, i am 56 years old and have been taking it slowly since i knew there was a bigger chance for me to get a recurrence. No good at all....but that's just the way it goes!

Three months before I had umbilical hernia surgery. Again my belly button protruded and did ultrasound and detected hernia. No idea how it came back . Maybe stress , constipation etc. Anyway surgeon advice for LP. Hope I will get well after this.

[@vishnuagarwal1363]

Hi, I also had umbilical hernia lap without mesh 1 week before....! Was your hernia repair mesh/non-Mesh 1st & 2nd time ?

[@annclarke5670]

Five months post laprascopic non mesh surgery and it’s back. Maybe at 80 years of age I was just too old. I thought my surgeon was excellent so not blaming her. I had virtually no pain after surgery but the diet before and after was horrible. So now I’m back to morning jumps etc. I won’t have surgery again and I don’t think anyone would want to do it. My hernia was 12 cm so very large. Evidently half my stomach was in my chest which caused really bad breathlessness. I couldn’t walk but virtually sat and did nothing for months. I’m coping now but disappointed .

[@impressivevideo21]

Hello doctor... in 2019 I did umbilical hernia surgery... it was open typed surgery, for first 2 years I didn't had any problem. In 2021 I delivered my baby girl, soon after that I was able to notice a small bump like a pimple, in my stomach where the surgery was done. Initially I was able to see only 1, now in 2023 I can visibly see 6 bump in my stomach 1 after another in a straight line.. I can feel sharp pain whenever someone touches my stomach or I got hit..

Really good explanation but I’m afraid with the NHS there was no following consultation infact released within 2 hours with no pain relief. 1 / 5 / 22 apart from knowing the mesh is there one year later still holding back the inguinial hernia. The mesh is uncomfortable but not as bad as carrying a hernia

Likely that is some nerve damage or stressed muscles based on how you are walking and sleeping post-op. It will likely subside in a few more weeks. If it worsens I would get in contact with your physician.

Lifting weights increases your chance of recurrence by 85%. Surgeons won't tell you that. Best thing to do is yoga, walking, hiking, swimming, pilates, etc. Do not go back to lifting weights. Crossfit is probably the worst thing you can do.
