The scar is higher than I expected and slightly tethered. 3 years ago the muscle repair became undone. I had an umbilical hernia & the Diastasis Recti had returned, I was offered keyhole surgery on the NHS to repair these, but was told that KH surgery doesn't have the longevity of open Surgery. It has now become undone again, and I have the DR & umbilical hernia again. I consulted a PS via the NHS & was told that the previous surgeries will have compromised the blood supply to the scar area and therefore it would present a high risk of healing problems and infection. Please could you advise me.
