    Surgery VS Watchful Waiting

    MO

    Difficult to quote for sure but your particular hernia is on the higher end of the risk spectrum than a non-incarcerated, reducible hernia as I am assuming by your post that you cannot push it back in? Some data will suggest the risk in the range of 2% / year that you watch it that it will require surgery on an urgent/emergent basis. In my opinion your would be higher but unable to predict to my knowledge.

    Thanks
