Hi,

Well, this suggests possible hernia and you should do an ultrasound to rule this out.

Hernia surgery for recurrent hernia may be bit more challenging for surgeon but still this is a routine surgery and there should not be problems about it.

Also, it would be good to have it done laparoscopically if this is available in your institution since, for recurrent hernia, laparoscopic surgery is the most optimal option since it is less invasive.

Also, you should take into account that hernia may become incarcerated in the future so it is better to manage it as soon as possible.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
