The cost of a simple surgery can vary greatly depending on the type of surgery, the hospital or clinic, and your insurance coverage. Minimally invasive surgeries generally have lower costs and are less painful than traditional open surgeries. Post-operative discomforts and potential side effects can include pain, nausea, vomiting, and in some cases, longer-term complications like infection or nerve damage

I had a right side inguinal hernia mesh repair surgery 3 years ago and now I've developed a new hernia on the left side. I'm considering another mesh repair but I'm worried about hernia recurrence after mesh surgery. Does having mesh repair increase the chances of the hernia coming back compared to other types of repairs? What's the likelihood of recurrence with a second mesh surgery?

Second hernia mesh repair is commonly done and recurrence is not necessarily higher with mesh.The success rate is high when done properly.
