Hi, I had my rhs kidney removed 7 months ago by open surgery as my tumour was very large & then had an  infection afterwards so my wound had to be reopened & heal by itself which in itself was a very big thing  But now I have an incisional hernia which looks massive from the outside & was told a couple of days ago that I have to have another operation to close it . 

Has anyone else had this before & what is the timeliness as my wound is nearly closed after such a long time.
