A member asked:

Is it safe during a hysterectomy to have a hernia repaired?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Probably: It depends on a number of factors such as the technique of hysterectomy and hernia repair, a d the location of the hernia. In general, it would typically be best to have a multidisciplinary approach, with the gynecologist performing the hysterectomy and a general surgeon repairing the hernia. We repair hernias in conjunction with other procedures often. Check with your doctors to be sure.

Yes, if your: Surgeon suggests it. Any operation is a balance between risks versus benefits, and your surgeon is the best person to judge this balance.
