I have undergone an open hernia repair through laparotomy, and I would like to understand the details of the procedure, how my recovery is progressing, and what post-operative care and precautions I need to follow going forward.

The surgery performed was an open hernia repair through laparotomy, primarily to treat an incisional hernia above the umbilical region. In this procedure, an incision is made over the hernia site, the protruding tissue is repositioned, and the abdominal wall defect is reinforced, often with sutures or surgical mesh, to prevent recurrence.
The case was correctly identified as an open incisional hernia, and the surgery was successfully completed without complications. Post-operative care includes monitoring for infection, managing pain, and gradually resuming normal activity, with a smooth recovery expected and minimal risk of recurrence.
