I had ascites leaking into my inguinal hernia and had a mesh repair on the left side. now, i have got right sided hernia. i was told that the fluid would leak . is another surgery an option?

Depends : This really depends on your "liver status" and overall medical condition. U will have to see the surgeon in person to make that call.

Yes, but: You should have the ascites under control before operating. This can be managed by some primary care providers, or. Gi liver specialist. If medical control is not working, could place a denver shunt at the time of her is repair. This isn't commonly done, so may have to shop around for a surgeon that would do this. Good luck!

It's possible: Surgery makes liver/cirrhosis worse during recovery. If you are otherwise in adequate control and under medical care, then a temporary drain at a separate site will help get you through recovery from hernia repair. Typically these drains stay in for 6 to 8 weeks. You should have surgery at a hospital with a medial team.
