Dr. Kishan A V – Specialist in Laparoscopic Repair of Umbilical Hernia, Bengaluru

What is Laparoscopic Repair of Umbilical Hernia?

Laparoscopic Repair of Umbilical Hernia is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to fix hernias that occur near the belly button (umbilicus). An umbilical hernia develops when abdominal contents push through a weak spot in the abdominal wall around the navel. This laparoscopic approach uses small incisions, a camera, and surgical mesh to reinforce the weakened area, offering a safe and effective solution.

How is the Procedure Performed?

The surgeon makes a few small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope to provide a clear view of the hernia site. Specialized instruments are then used to reposition the herniated tissue and place a surgical mesh to strengthen the abdominal wall. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, and most patients are discharged the same or next day.

Who Should Opt for Laparoscopic Umbilical Hernia Repair?

Patients with painful or enlarging umbilical hernias, recurrent hernias, or complications such as bowel obstruction should consider laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair. It is especially beneficial for individuals who wish to minimize downtime and return to normal activities quickly.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Umbilical Hernia Repair

• Smaller incisions with minimal scarring.
• Less post-operative pain compared to open repair.
• Lower risk of infection and complications.
• Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay.
• Effective long-term results with reduced recurrence.

Why Choose Laparoscopic Over Open Surgery?

Laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair provides quicker healing, minimal scarring, and faster return to daily life compared to open surgery. It is particularly advantageous for patients with larger or recurrent hernias, ensuring long-lasting results and reduced discomfort.
