Common Questions About Incisional Hernia Repair
Understanding the procedure and recovery process is crucial for our patients. Here are some frequently asked questions to help you feel more informed and at ease.
What is an incisional hernia?
An incisional hernia occurs at the site of a previous surgical incision, where the abdominal muscles have weakened, allowing tissue or organs to protrude.
How is the surgery performed?
The surgery involves reinforcing the weakened area with sutures or mesh, typically performed under general anesthesia.
What is the recovery time?
Recovery usually takes about 4-6 weeks, during which patients should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities.
Are there any risks involved?
As with any surgery, there are risks such as infection or recurrence, but our team takes every precaution to minimize these.
