A member asked:
How often does an inguinal hernia repair in a 4 year old recur in adulthood? is this common?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The recurrence rate of inguinal hernias after elective repairs is reported as 0.5 -1.0%. Recurrence rate after emergency repair is higher, as 3-6%. The true recurrence rate is likely to be higher, given the problem of accurate long-term follow-up. In the group of children who experienced recurrent inguinal hernia, recurrence occurred in 75% within 2 years after initial repair.
