The main concern for any hernia surgery is the chance of recurrence. Otherwise it is a surface surgery without much risk in skilled hands. To prevent the reccurence, it is important to remove the cause first. Obesity, chronic cough, nicotine, constipation. Return to normal routine is usually in a month.
