Summary:
Hello, everyone. In this new hernia video series, we will discuss a special scenario or a special group of patients which is called failed or recurrent hernia patients, which means somebody has undergone a hernia operation in the past and for whatever reason, hernias come back. And this is called a recurrent hernia or a failed hernia repair. The first topic we will discuss in this group is how do you know if your hernia repair has failed or what are the symptoms of a failed hernia repair? The number one symptom is any unexplained pain on the abdomen following a hernia operation can be a sign of a failed repair, meaning the patient can have a scar of the previous operation and he can experience a pain on the scar.

Rarely, the pain can also happen somewhere away from the original scar. So any pain anywhere on the abdomen wall following the hernia operation, it can happen one years, two years, or even five years after the original operation. Any pain on the abdomen following a hernia surgery can be a sign that the hernias come back. Number two, any swelling on the abdomen, which can happen following a hernia operation, can be a sign that the interstates have again come out of the abdomen wall and the hernias recurred. But one has to bear in mind that following a hernia repair, the swelling usually is not very obvious.

Before the first hernia operation, the swelling would have been very easily seen. It can just come as a bulge under the skin and you can even see the intestines moving through that. But because of a previous repair, because of the previous scarring, because of the previous mesh, when the hernia recurs or comes back again, the swelling may not be very obvious or very clearly seen. It can usually be a very mild bulge on abdominal wall, unlike the first time, where it was a clear cut swelling. So any small bulge on the abdominal wall with pain should raise the possibility of a failed hernia repair.

Third, many times, patients whose hernia repair has failed may not have a bulge, may not have pain, and they may directly present with something called an intestinal obstruction, where the hernia has already come out and has got stuck and twisted. And the patient presents with severe vomiting, inability to pass motions and abdominal distension. And this can be the first and the only sign of a failed hernia repair much rare. Five years or ten years following a hernia operation, a patient can come with a small pus discharge or fluid discharge through the scar of the previous surgery. And that may be because the hernia might have recurred and it might have got eroded into the mesh and the Intestines might have given way, giving rise to pus discharge or fluid discharge through the previous car.

So if any of these symptoms happen following a hernia repair over a period of time, one has to suspect a possibility of a failed hernia repair or recurrent hernia repair. So how do we go about treating this problem? We will see that in the following videos.

So basically we never get rid off the hernia even after surgery, so we always are going to be worry about a reappearing hernia 😢

[MrDonniemaclennan]

How depressing. Every twinge wondering if it has recurred

[buttercup]

I just had a hysterectomy in August. When I went for my two week follow up everything went great. I mentioned to my surgeon that, I was having these shooting sharp pains from my belly button to my abdomen. We both figured it was the stitches and the healing. It was very faint. By the time, I got settled at home, this pain amplified like crazy. It got to the point that, I had to go to the ER. They told me, I had a hernia. They took a CT scan with Contrast. That’s when I was diagnosed with a hernia

[discoverer]

Pretty informative Sir🙏.Kindly educate us on preventive measures to avoid recurrence too

***QUESTION, PLEASE*** I'm a 64 year old overweight American who cannot afford to repair an Umbilical Hernia in the USA. It seems to be getting worse as I am trying to exercise and lose weight and bulges out of my belly like a have a giant papaya down there! I am on semaglutide and losing weight. My question please, what would is cost out of pocket -- meaning, NO INSURANCE -- to have the Umbilibal Hernia Repair operation with you or perhaps someone else in your country??? Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. :)

Hello there, how long does the pain sit around abdomen area after first hernia surgery, thanks.

[terryrejniak]

Had mine done 6-21-24. It's infected and it's looking like I will have to do mine again, I'm so bummed. I still have 4 more days of taking antibiotics so I'm hoping they kick in but the Dr didn't sound too enthusiastic.

Sir please do video on pregnancy planning after umbilical hernia surgery in women

[queentejurakhi]

Hello sir please do video on pregnancy planning after hernia surgery

[Ghostfaced]

2 weeks post op after laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery with mesh. Feeling better but where the large hernia was located ( groin into scrotum) there is a somewhat hard swollen feeling there. Possible fluid retention? Idk. Surgeon says if it doesn’t go away in 2 more weeks gonna need a CT scan. Hope the hernia didn’t come back so soon after surgery.

[Rightisrightis]

No pain sometimes, even at the site of the hernia stitches. No pain at all when pressing.

[LonerLeo]

Just did my hernia surgery few months ago. So far I haven't had any issues. Let's see what happens.

[jethrobodine]

Thank you doctor. I had a hernia operation 28 years ago at 37. I don't know if it was with mesh or not. For about the last 2 weeks, I've been feeling sporadic twinges and pulls, nothing really painful or constant. No vomiting or nausea at all. It does feel a little different than it used to. I'm not fat and don't smoke. Until I hurt my hamstring, I ran a few times a week. I do a physical job. I don't have any problems with bowel movements, or if so, very little. I wonder if I'm over-worrying. I confess I've been a little hypochondriacal in the past. Any had similar sensations?
P.S.--Thanks for not disabling the comments like some have.

[Cleophus]

I just had a inguinal hernia repair yesterday on my right side. The surgery seen to go smooth, i have only some soreness and stiffness no pain really no bruising. But it looks like theres another sack like protrusion going into my scrotum. Not very noticeable. It feels like a sack to. Not swollen. I think it failed.

[AshwinKumarinbidar]

Thank you doc for your educational series.🙏

[SoonHengTan-wtgi]

When pain comes to your hernia for the first time, does the pain come acute or gradually?

[roberte]

Hello Dr, I had an incisional hernia repair in 2020. I've been working out a lot latley and have been having a lot of gurgling sounds coming from my abdominal area. There's no bulge or anything like that. Can this be a sign of a hernia reccurance?

[rajnisoni]
