UMBILICAL HERNIA

An umbilical hernia is when the belly button pops outwards due to a weakness in the muscles around the belly button. Umbilical hernias are most common in women during or after pregnancy, or in people who are overweight.

Again with umbilical hernias the hernia itself is not dangerous but there is the risk that it could become incarcerated. This can cut off the blood supply to the hernia which could cause life-threatening conditions such as peritonitis or gangrene.

Treatment of Umbilical Hernias

There are two methods of surgical repair of umbilical hernia:

  • Open surgical repair of hernia
  • Laparoscopic (Keyhole) surgical repair of hernia

Open Surgery

A small cut is made either below or above the belly button depending on the exact location of the umbilical hernia. The hernia itself is then pushed back into the abdominal cavity and the defect is closed with stitches. A piece of synthetic mesh is then placed over the closed defect to strengthen the abdominal wall. The skin incision is closed with dissolving stitches.

Laparoscopic (Keyhole) Surgery

Two or three small cuts are made in your lower abdomen through which the telescope the laparoscopic instruments are passed. The hernia is then repaired and the weakness covered with a synthetic mesh to strengthen the abdominal wall. The small cuts are closed with dissolving stitches.
