Mr Kulkarny, Consultant Urologist, St Peter's Hospital. My friend's hubby had prostate removed and hernia repaired by him with no problems. Likewise another friend of their's. My hubby has PC but had radiotherapy. I have also had bladder surgery by Mr Kulkarny and found him excellent - he was recommended to me by a Professor of Urology at Guy's.

yes, had a hernia after prostate surgery. It is quite common and linked to how the surgery was done.
