What Causes Abdominal Distention After A Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair Surgery?
I had undergone Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair under GA on 2/5/2015. I walk and do necessary exercises everyday. Reduced weight also. Recently, I am getting a large tummy and there is a straight line projection from top to bottom of the stomach. Eager to know what it is . Ajith Kumar /56 yrs

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic
Your symptoms are suggestive of recurrence of a ventral hernia after laparoscopic repair.
However, physical examination is required to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment options include watchful waiting, using braces, or surgical repair.
Please be advise to follow up with a surgeon o confirm the diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope I was able to help you
