HERNIA FOLLOWING RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY
Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2012 7:32 pm
My partner went through a Robot Assisted Radical Prostatectomy in January this year and thankfully he got the all clear in early March. Shortly after that, a lump appeared around the exit scar and this was diagnosed as a hernia by his GP.
He is now waiting for surgery on this large hernia, but has heard that it's quite common for patients to get a hernia following a prostatectomy. Is anyone else in the same boat at him? Anyone know why this happens?
