hi it may be best you try and seek out a surgeon who deals with both operations for colitis and hernias and ask his advice to how he thinks an operation would go for you. its the only thing i can think of as this nothing coming up in the way of research of your problem. hope this helps you. good luck
if i have colitis is it safe to have hernia surgery? . i am 80 years young and want to get into better shape. i also have colitis and have had 6 inches of my colon removed about 19 years ago. now i have a hernia and my doctor just wants me to wear a truss/belt but i am trying to get in better shape and want to start working with a personal trainer. my doctor does not want to perform the hernia surgery for fear it would cause my colitis to flare up and cause me further problems. should i go ahead and have the laparoscopic hernia surgery?
