My 11-year-old dog needs another hernia surgery. Is it safe for him?

Question

My dog just done an umbilical hernia surgery 6 months ago. Now he has to do another surgery to repair his inguinal hernia. How safe is it to do another surgery in the same year (hes almost 11 years)? and could he have another hernia remember this is a second time? thank you.

First of all inguinal hernia and umbilical hernia are two different things, completely unrelated. it's absolutely safe to have another surgery done 6 months after the first surgery, this surgery is really a must do.
