Vasectomy And Umbilical Hernia Repair Can Be Done Simultaneously?
I need to have an umbilical hernia repaired. I've had it for years and it's finally gotten to the point of bothering me. While I'm having the procedure done, I'd like to have a vasectomy also, but surgeons locally are not willing to do this simultaneously. Besides honor amongst theives, is there any logical reason that this cannot be done?

Hi
GREETINGS
In umbilical hernia repair surgeons will be using mesh which has to be handled carefully to avoid contamination and infection.If it get infected it can be a real trouble for you.
Hence they don't like to combine with other surgeries.
Hope my answer helps you.
Regards
