What is the survival rate for dog hernia surgery?

The survival rate for dogs undergoing hernia surgery is generally very high, with most dogs making a full recovery. The exact rate can vary depending on the type of hernia, the overall health of the dog, and the experience of the veterinarian performing the surgery.

For the most common type of hernia in dogs, the inguinal hernia, the survival rate is typically over 95%. This means that more than 95% of dogs who undergo inguinal hernia surgery will survive and make a full recovery.

For more complex hernias, such as diaphragmatic hernias or perineal hernias, the survival rate may be slightly lower but is still generally high, with most dogs making a full recovery.
