Hernia: With numbness in your buttocks and thigh after incisional hernia you must contact the doctor who did the surgery. Hope all goes well.

Not typical. : Surgery on your abdomen should not give you back or buttock numbness. Pressure on your back from the table while you were asleep might. Check with you surgeon.
