What can you tell me about inscional hernia surgery? how long is recovery usually?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
6 weeks: It varies somewhat based on the size and location of the hernia and the technique used to repair it, but in general there is an approximately 6 week recovery period before return to full activities following a hernia repair. I would discuss your specific case with your surgeon.
