Incisional Hernia - What It Is and Why It Happens

[@elee8532]

Thanks this was great for a senior retired RN, to refresh my memory, God Bless & Thx for your time in making it.

[@debbiegregg1279]

2017 hasn't been a good year for me, first op was gall bladder removal, then I needed shoulder surgery, then in may I had an aorta bifemerral bypass, and now am scheduled for incisional hernia surgery, and keyhole is not an option. here's hoping 2018 proves to be surgery free. even after all this, I remain grateful for the wonderful surgeons and staff who cared for me, there are so many people out there who are not so lucky, at least my medical conditions are treatable which makes me appriciate and be grateful every day.

How did the hernia happen from he previous surgeries?

[@nonnieone1]

Great information. I have an incisional hernia after gallbladder removal a couple of years ago. It is an omental fat hernia and it looks like half of a volleyball is sitting on my right upper side. It was discovered during a pet scan for breast cancer. I am still in radiation therapy treatment but I have been referred to a general surgeon. I can hardly wait to get this thing resolved.

[@dianerunion6687]

I'm just two weeks into having surgery I had to have the mess. It was the size of a basket ball on my side. I had seen Dr.s that would not repair it because I'm over weight and smoke. I know, I know not good. But what I have been threw was uncalled for. My bowels had twisted and going into my stomach and I was throwing that up. I thought I was on death roll. 💀I'm still in alot of pain but it's getting better with each day. I just thank God I'm still alive to talk about this. Mine started with having to have a kidney removed from cancer. I wasn't even aware this could happen. Guess what I'm trying to say is if your up against this sort of illness don't put it off getting it taken care of. I feel as if I almost waited to late. But didn't have no choice. Take care of your self there's only one of you.

Thanks for the info,I had Bladder surgery and shortly afterwards,I got a Hernia.I was concerned about what I had.

[@pinkymixology4965]

When I had surgery, I ended up with an incisional hernia immediately after the procedure... like an hour. Because they put the breathing tube right on the pharyngeal nerve. Apparently it made me try to caugh it out the whole time I was still under, tied down and everything. The recovery area staff thought it was hilarious. I know that because they kept joking about standing there and watching after I was out. Wide awake. Did they think I couldn't hear them, or did they just know that no one would believe me anyway. It's been a year and I'm back to not being able to move much anymore. I knew I would regret getting tricked into going in for surgery.

[@elizabethbliss6387]

I had a kidney operation and I ended up with an incisional hernia from the operation so I am waiting for surgery to repair the hernia

[@bruceelniski]

My spouse had had a gall bladder operation, three c-section operations for each of our three children and a hysterectomy for a pre-cancerous uterine condition. She is now suffering tremendous pain from at least 2 hernias that were discovered in April of 2018. The surgeon said she needs to lose a good deal of weight before an operation can be performed. Surgical mesh was mentioned but we hear nothing but horror stories of chronic pain in those who have had hernia repairs with mesh. The Shouldice Hospital in Canada specializes in natural tissue repair and they seldom use mesh. I would like to learn more about the right way to fix my spouse's condition before something is done that causes her chronic pain. Your thoughts?

[@NAT-turners-Revenge]

Is she better 😕

[@were2baby134]

I had a tiny hernia repaired and less than a month later I developed Cellulitis and Sepsis near simultaneously. I was left with a huge hard lump where the Cellulitis was. Now I have a HUGE hernia (size of a baby's head) I also have diastasis recti, so now it's the big surgery for me

[@karenharrington9614]

I have a football sized incisional hernia from an ileostomy reversal. My surg and I decided I'd wear binding and try to lose 25-30 lbs and then do mesh with my repair to give me a better chance of it not recurring. My question is what's the best way to workout? I feel I'm limited. I started hiking again and trying to walk more. I thought about maybe using bands? My surg wants it to be done as soon as I can because of the size. He explained something about not having enough space in my abdominal cavity(?) because of the intestine itself may increase in size.

[@KeKe1905]

In September I had a small bowel obstruction. They performed emergency surgery. They first tried laposcopic then end up cutting me. The surgeon who did the surgery, I only saw him less than 5 times and I was in the hospital for 19 days. I was told to go specialist in Atlanta, South Carolina and Charleston. Is the surgeon good and compassion in Atlanta area? I have a large abdominal hernia.😢😣

[@santelder]

I also had emergency small bowel surgery for a cancer strangulating the bowel .This was 3 months ago ,now i have a hernia where they cut me .Its getting larger and is sore feeling too.

[@undergrace1808]

Is there any safe meshes? I don’t want foreign objects in my body, I just had 6 surgeries to remove my recalled implants after a double mastectomy after my breast cancer diagnosis in 2015 which required 2 major surgeries. I had a diep flap last year and my ps used my abs and thighs because I’m very thin. The incision for my abs is hip to hip and he stitched a small hernia I had but now I have this protruding lower abs. It’s awful and I know they will need that mesh. I just traded one problem for another and went through many surgeries. I’m at a complete loss.

I want to work out but not sure which exercises are safe to do due to the incisional hernia and which ones to stay away from. I am avoiding sit ups crunches or anything that puts pressure in that area. How about a plank and step master? is that safe?

I had my left kidney removed. After the surgery I got staples. It was painful. But they had to be removed because of some sort of discharge that was developing underneath the incision. My surgery removed the staples. And opened up the incision. The incision closed naturally. But later developed the hernia. I could not get in contact with the surgeon after. To help. I am told if I lose weight it will go away. But it is very uncomfortable.

[@crystalb3952]

I'm pretty sure I have one of these. I have a horizontal lump right under my scar from panniculectomy 6yrs ago. Can this type of hernia cause nausea?

[@youmadhuh6375]

I have one after a horrible c section. It doesn't hurt but it have one side of my belly(around the incision area) bigger than the other. Certain things makes my tummy cramp up (which is extremely painful). I'm about to get a scan to see how big and where it is exactly before the Dr will schedule the surgery. Mine doesn't hurt, I didn't even know it was there until I was taking a bath and felt it. it was huge by then. Felt like half a volleyball.

Hi, Im 49 and just had a oophorectomy and days after the laparoscopic procedure I knew something was wrong. I felt a lump on my left side where my ovary was removed. It's very painful and I am so freaked out. I hate to go through another surgery but I cannot live with this thing. Can my obgyn fix this? Or do I need to go to a general surgeon? I was told I need to go back to my obgyn. I'm so scared

[@melissastrauss2812]

Hi. I am actually on this video for this exact same reason. I am 4 days out and feel something is wrong. Can you tell me what you ended up figuring out? I hope you are better now! Thanks!

[@erinsamaritano]

@@melissastrauss2812 hi, okay so I definitely thought it was a hernia as there was a lump & I was really sore. But it ended up just being my healing process, thankfully. I went for an ultrasound for that confirmation. I'm glad I did though. I honestly would have never believed it otherwise as I was completely convinced. My advice to you is absolutely take it easy. Dont overdue anything. Hate to say it but not even a bowel movement. If you feel constipated from the medication use psyllium husk to help with that. But ask your doctor first since everyone is different. I hope I helped. I would love to hear a follow up to know that you're okay. I wish you well & happy holidays ❤

I'm pretty my lap cut hernia was caused by a horrendous sneezing fit about 2 weeks after I was discharged. It was not addressed at the time but looking back, I think the deep tissue stitches ripped through a lot of the muscle. Twenty years on I have to have major abdominal surgery again and I'm hoping he may be able to address the hernia at the same time ... maybe fit a zip fastener ..... ;

[@tma4444]

I haven't yet been diagnosed with incisional hernia but I strongly suspect that I have one. I have had 4 surgeries (2 on my bowels, my gallbladder and lastly removal of one ovary. I first noticed a bulge (a little smaller than my fist) not long after my gallbladder surgery. It has become more obvious as I lose weight. I do not have pain in my abdomen but I have been having a lot of back pain. Not sure if its related because I have issues with my spine/discs. Can back pain be connected with incisional hernias?

[@drbuckparker]

usually not. but maybe you are compensating due to the unstable abdominal wall. that is a definite possibility

[@lauramacbride8181]

I think I may have a hernia (or two!) from surgeries done with the robot. One on each side of my abdomen, one up higher than the other. When I bend down and lift things I can feel lower abdominal movement up and into these areas. What follows is pain and discomfort. I stand and can feel whatever it is slide back down. It happened yesterday and today I feel sore (think way too many sit ups sore). I've told two doctors about this (GYN who did the surgeries, and primary care) neither seemed too concerned. What are your thoughts?

The thing is the other holes never healed completely and one of them has like fat coming out of it the other one is just a small hole. They don't really hurt unless you touch them. He told me those were not hernias he made me cough. But I he didnt gave me an answer as to how to fix those incisions holes?

Thank you for all this info. I have developed a hernia 6 years after gallbladder surgery. Every time I exercise, sneeze or cough hard a golf ball size bump would come out right below my right ribcage where my gallbladder pain was. I stopped exercising for 2 months and did some stretching a few days ago and I now have 2 golf balls below my right rib cage and 1 golf ball an inch above my belly button. My abdomen is so sore after they go back in and for several days after I can't touch my abdomen. It's not painful when they come out...just uncomfortable. The pain and tenderness is after they go back in.
