I had a massive right side hernia, I'm talking small football size one and I just had it repaired this same way and now it looks like I have a hernia again and it's only been a few weeks, the only thing I have been doing that would be strenuous is walking up and down the stairs. I don't know if i have one again, I'm hoping it's because the skin was so stretched from the hernia and it's swelling but I won't know until I see my Dr. in a few weeks. Have you ever seen or heard of anything like this
I had a communicating hydrocele that diminished years ago. My surgeon said it was probably due to my active military operations that made it worse. I am glad I had it taken care of privately vs. VA, YIKES! lol
The surgeon explained the risk of losing a testicle, but explained its incredibly rare in surgeons who practice laparascopic hernia repair more than others. My surgeon was previously an ER trauma surgeon, I know people who know him so I felt comfortable.
Great footage! I am on week 2 of recovery and I can attest to a quick recovery to average light day to day activities. Although I do feel some pain still from the scar tissue healing and a where the mesh is attached on either side. Mine was bilateral inguinal hernia repair.
@PersonalGeek Excellent news for you!Your pain will gradually subside over a few months (or less).
I imagine your hernias were congenital?
I have a unilateral incisional hernia which resulted from complications from two previous surgeries. There is a lot of internal scar tissue present which makes repairing this problem difficult. It will no longer be a routine operation. I am hesitating to have it done, because there is an higher risk of accidently cutting off the blood flow to the testicle
