Recurrent hernia

A recurrent hernia is a hernia that has returned after previous hernia surgery.

If you have previously had a hernia repaired and have noticed a new lump, swelling or discomfort in the same area, it is important to have your symptoms assessed by a healthcare professional.

A recurrent hernia occurs when a hernia develops again after it has previously been repaired.

A recurrent hernia can occur in the same area as the original hernia repair. Your clinician can assess your symptoms and determine whether further investigation or treatment is needed.

There can be different reasons why a hernia may recur after surgery. Your clinician can discuss your individual circumstances and explain what may have contributed to your hernia returning.

Having a recurrent hernia does not necessarily mean that you will need the same treatment as before. Your treatment options will depend on your individual circumstances.

Symptoms can vary. You may notice a lump or swelling in the area of your previous hernia repair, which may be more noticeable when standing, coughing or carrying out certain activities.

You may also experience discomfort or pain in the affected area.

If you have previously had hernia surgery and are experiencing new or changing symptoms, speak to a healthcare professional.

Your clinician will ask about your symptoms and previous hernia surgery and examine the affected area.

Depending on your symptoms and examination, you may need further tests or imaging to help assess the hernia.

Your clinician will explain whether any further investigation is needed.

Treatment for a recurrent hernia will depend on your individual circumstances, including the type and location of the hernia and your previous surgery.

Your clinician will discuss the available treatment options with you and explain the potential benefits and risks of any recommended treatment.

If you have previously had a hernia repaired and think it may have returned, arrange an assessment with a healthcare professional.

Seek urgent medical attention if you develop severe or worsening pain, become unwell, or notice a hernia that becomes particularly painful or cannot be pushed back in.

If you think your hernia has returned after previous surgery, our specialist team can assess your symptoms and discuss the treatment options that may be suitable for you.
