Is it safe to have hernia surgery when my colitis is inflamed? and should i request a colonoscopy prior or at the same time as surgery? i would much rather only have to flush my system once and i've heard they can do colonoscopy at the same time?

The body can be divided into compartments, separated from each other for the purpose of procedures. Hernias would involve a separate compartment with no direct communication & a procedure as cited would be safe. Since the preparation/tools and personal involved in these two procedures differ significantly, I doubt they would be done the same day or time.
