Can you enjoy surgery when the hernia have "disappeared"?
I know that the hernia cannot actually disappear but it can move around and 'hide'....im supposed to have surgery today and the lump is almost completely gone. Can they still repair my hernia if it is deeper down than usual?
Answers:
Yes, the anatomic defect -- the opening-- is still in that, it's just that there is no tissue protruding at the moment. But your surgeon can do the repair regardless. Source(s): RN
A hernia involves protrusion of whatever organ involved through a powerless or torn wall, or an enlarged opening in a wall. Your surgeon will know the location of the defect and can repair it short the herniated organ bulging through it. When it "disappears", it is said to be reduced. When the doctor sutures the defect, it is called surgical reduction of the hernia, or herniorrhaphy (suturing of a hernia). Source(s): RN
If it's an inguinal hernia, it's a really apposite sign that the hernia is able to stay in by itself.
Personally I would avoid having the op for as long as possible. Check out this knit. Source(s): http://herniabible.wordpress.com/2009/04…
