A member asked:
Can a colonoscopy be safely carried out on me even though i have a ventral hernia or should the hernia be repaired prior to having the colonoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Colonoscopy: A colonoscopy can be safely performed in someone with a ventral hernia. Your gastroenterologist needs to be careful about the amount of air he uses during the exam.
