Is it possible to get hernia years after having appendicitis?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Anytime abdominal surgery is performed with an incision, there is the possibility of developing an incisional (ventral) hernia, either early postop or years later. If you are talking about an inguinal (groin) hernia, there is no relation to appendicitis.

Yes: With any incision of the abdominal wall there is a chance for developing an incisional hernia weeks yrs later.
