How can you avoid recurrence after a hernia repair surgery?

Patient's question:

Reoperation is needed now, and it's unclear whether the patch used last time needs to be replaced. How can it be done to prevent recurrence? What kind of help is desired: want to consult how to have a new patch during reoperation after recurrence

Doctor's answer:

Hernia mesh surgery has a low incidence of complications. If complications occur, it is recommended to consider reoperation after two months, requiring a new mesh to be replaced. During the surgery, careful operation is necessary to ensure proper repair. Postoperatively, rest is important to prevent infection and recurrence. According to the condition, it is advised to consider surgical treatment after two months, replace the surgical mesh, and pay attention to rest and diet to prevent constipation and recurrence.
In addition, patients should develop a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise. This can help boost the immune system and reduce the risk of illness.
