Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Hernia repair refers to a surgical operation for the correction of a hernia. It can be of two different types: herniorrhaphy or hernioplasty. Generally, for larger hernia, a prolene mesh is placed inside, which would prevent the recurrence as well as to avoid complications. Surgery depends on the size of hernia. Smaller hernia can be done by laproscopy, which is minimally invasive. Larger hernia needs to be operated under general anaesthesia and is a major surgery. Success rate following mesh repair in large hernia seems to be good. Kindly consult Surgeon in this regard and follow the advise as given by them. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
