This an educational picture. This started as a small umbilical hernia. I think the abdomen wall is also herniated. My biggest regret in life was not fixing this 20 years ago....
Hello Leslie, don't panic. l had to go for surgery to remove 2 impacted molars and 2 premolars.1 year three months after aortic valve replacement. my inr became unstable but l came out aright. a prayer and positive mind helped in my case and the experienced doctors. all the best.
Can you get the hernia repaired first? I also had a severely enlarged left atrium. It returned to normal size on echo 8 weeks after mitral repair which is a common outcome.
