A recurrent hernia occurs when a previously repaired hernia reappears in the same or nearby area. This typically happens because the original repair weakens over time, allowing tissue or an organ to push through again. Recurrent hernias may develop months or even years after the initial surgery. Fortunately, advances in Recurrent Hernia Surgery in Chennai now offer stronger, longer-lasting repairs with faster recovery and minimal discomfort.
The symptoms may vary, but common signs include:
Recurrent hernia is diagnosed through a detailed clinical evaluation that helps identify symptoms, causes of recurrence, and the extent of abdominal wall weakness.
Physical examination to assess bulge and discomfort
Imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scan
Review of previous hernia surgeries and mesh placement
Evaluation of risk factors such as obesity or infection
Assessment of hernia size, location, and severity
