A member asked:
Please tell me how long it takes for to heal after a hernia is removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Technically, hernias are repaired, not removed. Depending on the size of the hernia, the location, and the type of repair performed, use of mesh, etc., healing takes anywhere from 2-6 weeks, generally.
