HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query.


Yes you need to see your doctor again as this is a Hernia. But this is a different hernia from Hiatal Hernia. This hernia is called Incisional hernia.

Incisional hernia is a condition where abdominal contents ( commonly intestine ) come out of abdomen through the defect in the abdominal wall created due to Incision.

It requires a repeat surgery where a mesh will be put under the previous incision site which prevents the abdominal contents from coming out.

Hope this information is useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
