Frequently asked questions
What is an incisional hernia?
It is a hernia that appears over the scar of a previous surgery, due to weakening of the wall in that area. It is one of the most common types of ventral hernia and is also repaired with mesh.
My hernia is very large, can it still be operated?
Yes. Large or complex hernias require more detailed planning, sometimes with imaging studies, but they have a surgical solution. In consultation we define the best strategy for your case.
How long is the recovery?
It depends on the size of the hernia and the technique. With laparoscopic repairs, most patients resume daily activities in 1 to 2 weeks and intense effort in 4 to 6 weeks.
Can the hernia come back?
With proper technique and mesh, the risk of recurrence is low. Maintaining a healthy weight and respecting recovery times helps protect the repair.
