How is hernia surgery done?
Hello, Most hernia repairs are done laparoscopically via the little port site incisions using a camera. Most hernias are incisional abdominal from previous surgical procedures or ventral, again on the abdomen. If this is an inguinal hernia, the repairs are still done laparoscopically. You can watch these videos on YouTube for more insight and clarity. Dr Kelly READ MORE
How long before you can walk after hernia surgery?
Hello: Immediately. Take tiny steps. You can also do locoregional treatment with Family Dollar chest rub or Vick’s, gently massage area around incision for up to 2 minutes. Repeat every 2-3 hours.

How long will I bleed after bladder surgery?
Hello: The issues here are: number 1, your innate bleeding system, and number 2, the surgeon must perform enough hemostatis (bleeding control) during the procedure so that you don't bleed after the procedure/surgery is completed. Your innate bleeding system has to be evaluated prior to surgery. All blood thinners must be discontinued about 5 days prior to surgery, such as, Motrin, ASA, or Coumadin. Herbs that can cause blood thinning have to be discontinued as well. Therefore, be very honest and detailed with your physician. Regardless, surgery is a fine balance of your innate issues/comorbidities, anesthesia and the actual surgical procedure, so that everything goes well. Sincerely, Dr Kelly. READ MORE
Why is a colonoscopy so scary to most people?
Hello: Any invasive procedure is scary. Number one, it is invasive, the scope can perforate(poke a hole in your colon). Number two, during the procedure, the spleen which is outside the colon can be torn or ruptured and cause a lot of bleeding. Number three, anesthetic drugs can cause heart attack or prolonged unconsciousness, leading to coma. Number four, if a polyp is removed, that procedure can result in a hole in the colon as well. Bottom line, every invasive procedure has complications. Also, one has to deal with the patient’s comorbidities, such as, hypertension, obesity and diabetes, that add to the increased risk for complications. Dr Kelly READ MORE
What happens after your appendix is removed?
Hello: It depends on how bad your appendicitis was, and the type of surgery, that is, laparoscopic or open. The appendix is a part of gut immune response system, especially before 18 years old. Therefore, if it is removed prior to 18 y.o., your immune response to disease can be affected. After 18 years old it’s not so bad. You can have adhesions and intestinal issues after surgery, especially if this is the first sign for inflammatory bowel disease of some form. Dr Kelly READ MORE
