  1. I have a recurrent umbilical hernia repair. But there is no additional information as to extra difficulty in the report except to say that the old mesh was removed. Does anyone know the typical time of a regular umbilical hernia repair

  2. The operation usually takes 30 to 45 minutes or less depending on the method used, in-case of large hernia it may take some more extra time.

  3. THE RECUURENT CODE PAYS MORE AND THAT INCLUDES THE REMOVAL OF THE MESH
