    Hernia Surgery Risks in an 88yr old Woman

    My grandma had the hernia repair and is doing great. Only two issues on post op day 3 are a sharp burning groin pain when she stands that improves once she walks around. Could this be from the graft? Is this something to be concerned about do you think?

    Just an update!! The ultrasound was a success and sure enough my Granma has a femoral hernia. Finally after 24yrs of suffering a diagnosis has been made. She is scheduled for surgery in a week!!

    At first my grandma was to stay over night after her surgery but now it is just scheduled as a day surgery under spinal anesthesia. What especially should we look for regarding postop complications as well as how to prevent postop complications. Thanks!!

    Thank you so much. We had the ultrasound technician read your response and she ended up being what seemed to be really thorough. Waiting to hear the results. Thanks again.

    Do you have any step by step instructions I can pass on to the tech for our best chance of documenting some good diagnostic images?

    Does my Grandma have a hernia

    She’s been through the ringer trying to figure out this debilitating pain. Has seen multiple different specialist who just can’t figure it out. This general surgeon said hernia and that’s when it clicked for me but then the CT didn’t show one so he said there is no where to go from here. Will the hernia for sure been seen on CT if it’s not bulging at the time of the exam? She is having poor quality of life so we hate to just give up.

    Ya he did look at the actual images and a radiologist did as well. That’s why they said it’s not a hernia and we are at a dead end.

    I appreciate your reply. She did see a surgeon and he did mention for the first time her symptoms seemed a lot like a hernia but he said nothing was showing up on her CT from 2yrs ago (she was having the pain then too) so he said it can’t be. Would he for sure be able to see it if it was really small?
