I have had 3 hernia surgeries and now a nother one is back. how to prevent them from coming back?

Mesh: The more repairs are done, the weaker the native tissues become. The recurrence rates are very high. Repair with mesh, and/or an abdominal wall reconstruction with "component separation" may be necessary for a lasting result.

Hernia specialist: See a general surgeon who specializes in hernia repair. Try the americas hernia society website to locate a member.
