Hernia surgery post prostatectomy

Posted by richardB @richardblackman, Mar 6, 2024

Anyone have experience with hernia surgery post prostatectomy? Evidently, the normally "routine" abdominal hernia surgery is much more complicated for those who have had prostate surgery. If nothing else, a renewed chance of new side effects (incontinence & ED). My primary doc believes I will need the surgery and it looks like not many hernia surgeons have experience with post prostatectomy patients.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

he works at Hopkins in Columbia, Md. There don't seem to be a lot of surgeons with lots of this type of experience.
