Low: The chances are low but not zero. If the symptoms are there don't ignore them , a recurrent hernia is more dangerous than a primary one. Go see the doc who did your surgery.

Low: Your chances are low for recurrence. The procedure was performed laparoscopically. There is a risk of slip of the patch but that is also low. You are in lexington. The uk surgical team can help you follow along if required. Go blue!

Depends: It depends on the specifics, particularly the size and location of the hernia, as well as the size if the mesh, and strength and amount if mesh fixation. Should be low, but without the specifics, can't really say. The seroma should go away on its own in several weeks. Hope this helps!
