Hernia Repair: Frequently Asked Questions

Will my stomach shrink after hernia repair?

With a hiatal hernia, the stomach herniates (pushes through) an opening in the diaphragm into the abdominal cavity. After surgery to repair the hernia, the size of the stomach remains the same as before.

With a vental hernia, abdominal contents such as fat or intestines push out through a weakened area of the abdominal wall, resulting in a bulge. Surgical repair of the hernia should correct this bulge.

Why do I still have a bulge after hernia repair?

 Chevron Icon

Building after hernia repair may be due to mesh expansion. Surgical mesh helps strengthen the hernia repair and reduce the likelihood of another hernia. It is important to contact a doctor for advice if a person has concerns about a bulge or any complications after hernia repair.

How long does a hernia repair procedure last?

 Chevron Icon

Hernia repair typically takes less than 1 hour. However, the duration may vary depending on the type of hernia and other factors. A person may need to stay overnight in the hospital in some cases. A person's doctor can provide them with more information about what to expect during and after the procedure.

Can a hernia go away without surgery?

 Chevron Icon

Most hernias do not go away without surgery. However, some hernias may go away on their own. For example, a person may develop an inguinal hernia during pregnancy that resolves following delivery. In this case, a doctor may recommend watchful waiting during the pregnancy if the hernia is small, is easily pushed back in, and does not cause any discomfort.
