How often does an incision hernia happen after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery and when do symptoms usually start showing up
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Incisional hernias after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery (lap chole) are not very common, but they can occur. The risk is estimated to be between 0.02% to 3.6%. Symptoms usually show up within three to six months after surgery, but can appear later as well.

View allI've been dealing with a pilonidal sinus and my doctor is suggesting surgery for it. I've heard that it can keep coming back. Is there any way homeopathy could help with this problem?
While surgery is a common treatment for pilonidal sinus, homeopathic remedies like Silica, Graphites, and Thuja may help alleviate symptoms and potentially prevent recurrence; however, it's essential to consult a qualified homeopathic practitioner for personalized treatment, as homeopathy is not a substitute for surgical intervention, and a combined approach may be necessary to manage the condition effectively.
