Hernia repair is a surgical procedure to correct a hernia – a condition when internal tissue or organ pushes through the muscle. It is typically performed when the hernia becomes strangulated, causes pain or discomfort, grows larger, or when the tissue becomes trapped in the abdominal wall.
It may take around 3 to 6 weeks for a full recovery after open hernia surgery. Expect to take two weeks off work after the surgery. If you have laparoscopic surgery, you should be able to return to work and your normal routine within a week.
Hernia repair is proven to be effective and safe. Only around 11% of patients suffer from a recurrence following the surgery. Also, only 10 % to 12% of patients will experience chronic pain after surgery. Although the risks and side effects are rare, you still need to be aware of them. They typically include infection, blood clots, pain, and recurrence.
