Recurrent Hernia Repair by Dr. Arun Prasad
Recurrent hernia repair is a more intricate procedure than a first-time hernia surgery, since it involves operating through or around scar tissue from an earlier repair. It calls for a thorough understanding of what caused the recurrence and a repair strategy built specifically around that.
Dr. Arun Prasad evaluates each recurrent hernia case individually, taking into account the number of prior surgeries, the condition of the abdominal wall, mesh history if any, and the patient's overall health, before deciding on an open or laparoscopic approach.
Because recurrent hernias tend to be more challenging than primary hernias, choosing a surgeon experienced specifically in revision hernia surgery plays an important role in achieving a lasting outcome and avoiding further recurrence.
