Umbilical hernia repair is a surgical procedure that reinforces the abdominal wall to treat belly button hernias.

Overview


Umbilical hernia repair is a surgical procedure to correct a bulge near the belly button caused by tissue pushing through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. This condition can lead to pain, discomfort, and complications if left untreated.

The procedure strengthens the weakened area by suturing the tissue together or placing a surgical mesh for additional support. It can be performed using open surgery or a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique, depending on the patient’s needs and the severity of the hernia.


When is Surgery Recommended?


Umbilical hernia surgery is recommended for individuals with persistent pain, discomfort, or a growing bulge near the navel that does not resolve on its own. It is necessary when the hernia becomes irreducible or starts affecting daily activities.

Surgery is also required if there is a risk of strangulation, where intestinal tissue becomes trapped and loses blood supply, leading to severe pain, nausea, or vomiting. Since umbilical hernias in adults rarely close naturally, surgical repair is the most effective long-term solution to prevent complications and recurrence.


Procedure Details


Umbilical hernia repair is performed using an open or laparoscopic approach to reinforce the abdominal wall and prevent recurrence.


Anesthesia is administered for patient comfort.

An incision is made near the belly button, or small laparoscopic incisions are created.T

he herniated tissue is repositioned back into the abdominal cavity.

The weakened area is reinforced with sutures or a surgical mesh.

The incisions are closed, and the procedure is completed.


Recovery


Healing after umbilical hernia repair varies based on the surgical method used. Most patients return to light activities within a few days, with full recovery typically taking a few weeks. Mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising may occur but can be managed with pain relief and proper care.

To ensure a smooth recovery, we provide personalized post-procedure guidelines, including activity restrictions, proper wound care, and dietary adjustments. Regular follow-up appointments help monitor healing progress and minimize the risk of recurrence. A gradual return to normal activities is advised to prevent strain on the surgical site.
