My mom is 66 years old and has been diagnosed with umbilical hernia and incisional hernia. She's 5'2¬ù and weighs around 83 kg. She's currently on thyroid meds and has had past surgeries like C-section, thyroid, liver abscess, varicose veins, and knee surgery. We saw two doctors one suggested hernia repair with abdominoplasty, while the other recommended open hernia repair using mesh and advised weight loss before surgery since she's overweight. I'm confused about which approach is better for her given her medical history and weight. What would you recommend for her case?
Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.

Can gallbladder stone surgery and tubectomy be done at the same time I have been having pain from gallstones and my doctor recommended cholecystectomy I also want to get a tubectomy is it possible to combine both procedures
Gallbladder stone surgery (cholecystectomy) and tubectomy can be done in the same session if both procedures are safe to perform together. This can reduce the number of hospital visits, but you should consult your surgeon for a personalized plan.
