i had my left kidney removed almost 4 yrs ago and I had severe vomiting a month following the surgery could it have caused a hernia because I have a lump on that side that has gotten bigger and also causes the incision from the surgery to open in some places and have also had 4 bowl obstructions in my small bowel since the surgery also could this be a nernia?
HelloThanks for query. You have undergone surgery of Neurectomy through flank incision and now getting lump at the site of scar. This is definitely a what is called as Incisional Hernia which occurs due to separation of muscles sutured during surgery. Consult the surgeon who has performed first surgery or a general surgeon. It needs to get repaired by putting proline mesh (Herniorrhaphy). Chat Doctor.
