Umbilical Hernia Repair is a surgical procedure to correct hernias near the belly button, where tissue bulges through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. This surgery is often necessary to prevent complications like pain or strangulation.
The procedure involves making a small incision near the hernia site, repositioning the protruded tissue, and closing the defect with sutures or mesh. Minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques are commonly used for smaller hernias.
Postoperative care includes managing pain, maintaining proper hygiene, and following activity restrictions to ensure proper healing. Patients are advised to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities during the recovery period.
Umbilical hernia repair is a straightforward and effective procedure that alleviates symptoms and prevents future complications. This surgery restores abdominal integrity and improves quality of life.
