An umbilical hernia occurs when part of the intestine protrudes through an opening in the abdominal muscles near the belly button. While common in infants, adults can also develop umbilical hernias due to abdominal pressure.
Diagnosis is typically through physical examination. The doctor will check for a bulge near the navel and may order an ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis.
Umbilical hernia repair is performed laparoscopically by reducing the herniated tissue and closing the defect with sutures. A mesh may be placed for larger hernias to prevent recurrence.
Recovery from umbilical hernia surgery is generally quick. Hospital stay is same day or overnight. Return to work is 1-2 weeks. Full recovery in 2-4 weeks.
Dr. Raman Garg specializes in laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair with excellent cosmetic results, especially important for patients concerned about the appearance of the navel area.
