Third Recurrence of Umbilical Hernia

Thank you for this list of surgeons. I am willing to travel anywhere, just to finally find someone who can help me. I also plan to get a few different opinions before undergoing a third surgery so I would appreciate any and all names you may have.

I cannot thank you enough for your help.

Third Recurrence of Umbilical Hernia

Again, thank you so much Dr. Towfigh for your advice.

Is there anyone in the NJ / NY / anywhere on the east coast you would recommend? I know I need a very experienced hernia specialist.

I do have all of my operative reports.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Third Recurrence of Umbilical Hernia

Dr. Towfigh,

Thank you so much for your reply. I do think I may be genetically predisposed, my father also had an umbilical hernia, and I have polycystic kidneys, which I have been told can cause umbilical hernias. I just do not understand why it keeps coming back.
I am in New Jersey.
Do you recommend a third repair?

Again, thank you so very much for your response.
