I have had two bypass surgeries. I didn't have an incisional hernia after the first one 8 years ago. But about 6 months after the second one the hernia began developing. It is large now, just under the breast bone, but the Doctors say it isn't large enough to do anything about it. It is about 4 inches across and bulges out about 1 inch in a ballooning manner. Wheeeee....
I had a large ventral hernia repaired with Alloderm in February of 2009. It has now been one year & I am still having significant issues with ongoing abdominal pain. Doctors are not willing to say if this is "normal", but I'm beginning to believe it is more common than the doctors would have you believe prior to the surgery.
The different kinds of hernia are listed below: * Congenital hernia: occur in babies, present from birth. * Inguinal hernia: common in sportsmen, involves part of the bowel protrudibng into the groin * Hiatus hernia: involves the stomach, where it enters the chest cavity via the hiatus. * Incarcerated hernia: where the hernia has swollen up. * Reducible hernia: one that can be manipulated back into place easily, much like a dislocated joint can be repositioned with relative ease. * Irreducible hernia: can't be returned to its original position without surgical intervention. * Strangulated hernia: potentially fatal, as it means the bood supply has been cut off by the hernia. There are even more types, each with their own subtle variations. These can be viewed from the link. [source: adapted from First Aid, by Geddes and Grosset]
