A member asked:
I have 2to hernias from colon resection (hemicolectomy) which surgeon should correct tsh and incisional hernia with transverse colon in umbilical site? colon or hernia specialist

2 for 1: Strictly speaking, you have hernias--therefore, you should see a hernia surgeon. However, most general surgeons are "experts" in both colon resection and hernia repair.

Your choice: Most hernia repairs are done by general surgeons. There are many surgeons who focus their practice on hernia repair. Many colorectal surgeons also repair hernias that developed after colectomies. Just make sure you pick a surgeon who fixes hernia frequently and has a good reputation.
