A member asked:

Is it possible to get hernia's after disc surgery on your lower back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: If there was an incision on the front of your abdominal wall, you can get a hernia at that incision site. It occurs 15-20% of the time. You may need to see a general surgeon for an exam.
