I had a hernia surgery 6 months after my IPP. It was at the same university hospital as the IPP. I told the surgeon to step over to urology and talk to my IPP surgeon before she operated on my hernia. Everything came out fine. Hernia was on left side , reservoir is on the right side. She was prepared to repair the right side also , but only if it needed repair.

I have to do a surgery to fix my inguinal hernia. Fortunately it's on the opposite side of my reservoir. I have to schedule the surgery with a doctor in my country (Italy). I showed him an email from doctor Eid that suggested what to be careful about and what exams to do before the surgery and he looked very careful about his instructions.
For now I'm still living with it because I have just a minimal discomfort but I know I will have to do the surgery sooner or later also because I'm very active and I'm an avid cyclist.
