I have gallstones and bilateral inguinal hernia. Is it preferable to have surgery for both done at the same time or in separate procedures. It has been suggested to have them done separately, due to risk of infecting mesh in hernia because the gallbladder is a "dirty" organ.
Hi thanks for contacting us.... Noted you have both gall stones and bilateral hernia.... Both are non-emergency condition until complicated.... And operation for both are major operation.... So yes both operation done one after another with advise from surgeon... If gall stone small and asymptomatic then cholecystectomy can be delayed... Take care.... Hope your concern solved.
