A member asked:

I'm having hernia surgery 4/7/15, and my ent wants to do sinus surgery, how long do i have to wait to have sinus surgery after my hernia surgery. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wait 6 weeks: it takes 6 weeks for the scar tissue of the hernia surgery to strengthen. Coughing during or after surgery may adversely affect your hernia repair
