Reply To: Epigastric hernia number 3

Hi Dr, thank you for your reply. I have a couple of questions I’m hoping you can answer..Is this considered a recurrent hernia or an incisional? Also would u recommend an actual closure of the defect with ventral hernias or is tension free ok.. I have a consult with Dr girschkan and also at Dr goodyears office(with one of his partners) thanks in advance. My second surgery was done with dr minehart(dr goodyears partner). I did feel great afterwards but noticed another bulge below the healing ridge a month or two later
