How could a abdominal ventral hernia repair with a mesh end up with a hernia in ur stomack?

Not sure: I'm not sure what you mean by a hernia in your stomach, but your stomach can herniate in to your chest, and is called a hiatal hernia. This is separate from a ventral her is, and you can have both at the same time. Hope this helps!
