Is Traveling Advisable For A Patient With A Massive Incisional Hernia?
My husband had an operation for colon cancer about 2yrs ago which resulted in him having a massive insicional hernia and having a mesh put in 12 months ago. We were thinking about going to Disney etc in USA next Feb for his 70th birthday. Is it a good idea to do the rides or not?
