Specializes in Surgery

Another hernia: It could be a recurrent hernia, or maybe a suture used to repair your navel hernia. A surgeon would have to examine this knot and possibly get a ct scan to further evaluate it. I see that you are in katy, tx. I practice in katy and would be happy to see you, if you will just contact my office.
