Hernia recurrence isn’t just about weak stitches…
It’s a complex issue involving your body’s biomechanics.
Factors like tissue weakness (due to genetics, collagen disorders, smoking, or obesity) play a significant role.
Even with a successful repair, if the surrounding tissue is weak, the repair will only be as strong as what it's stitched into.
Additional hidden factors, like constant pressure from heavy lifting, coughing, or constipation, can slowly break down the repair over time.
Outdated repair techniques—like using excessive tension, the wrong mesh, or improper fixation—can increase the risk of recurrence.
To prevent hernia recurrence, repairs must address tissue health, body mechanics, and long-term pressure, not just close the hole.
