Case Responses

Recurrent Hernia (Case #547)

  • Medical Probability: 2 / 10
  • Medical Error Summary: Small hernias with incarcerated fat can occur.
  • Causation Probability: 2 / 10
  • Causation Summary: In the post op period the patient could've coughed and caused a small hernia that could lead to symptoms.
  • Expert Summary: I do about 800 cases a year of which approximately 200 are hernia cases. I have performed over 1000 robotic procedures.
  • Similar Summary: Not uncommon to have symptoms after hernia repair. Also no mention of patient comorbidites as that can factor into this aswell.
