    I was lifting a bed frame four days ago (actually not very heavy at all) when I suddenly felt a pop and sharp epigastric pain. Now the pain comes back with coughing, sneezing and movement. Ultrasound found a 8 mm supraumbilical incisional hernia. There is no visible bulge. I had an abdominoplasty 1 year ago with excellent cosmetic results and I hate to mess it up with surgery. Is there any possibility that the hernia will resolve spontaneously? Would most surgeons watch and wait on this one?
