    Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery for Umbilical Hernia

    An umbilical hernia develops when part of the intestine bulges through the opening of the abdominal muscles, near the belly button. This kind of hernia is typically very common and causes no major harm.

    Umbilical hernias are most common in infants but can affect adults as well. In infants, umbilical hernia becomes evident when the infant cries and the belly button protrudes. Umbilical hernias often close on their own in three to four years in infants. In adults, the condition is likely to require surgery.

    Although there are different surgical methods of umbilical hernia repair, the benefits of laparoscopic surgery outweighs all other methods. Here are some of the advantages of laparoscopic umbilical hernia surgery:

    • Smaller incisions with better cosmetic results
    • Smaller surgical wounds and faster recovery
    • Faster return to work and regular work life
    • Reduced incidence of complications related to wound healing
    • Reduced postoperative pain, discomfort and swelling

    FAQs around Umbilical Hernia Treatment in Chennai

    How to prepare for laparoscopic surgery for umbilical hernia?

    Here are a few steps that are may help in the preparation of laparoscopic surgery for umbilical hernia:

    • Avoid eating or drinking anything at least 6-8 hours before the surgery.
    • Provide a list of medicine to the doctor so that he/she can make the necessary adjustments to prepare the body for surgery.
    • The doctor will ask to stop taking aspirin, blood thinners, anti-inflammatory medicines, etc., for at least a week before the surgery as they increase the potential risk of bleeding.
    • Get a full-body checkup to eliminate the risk of any underlying condition that can compromise the outcome or success rate of the surgical repair.
    • Wear loose and comfortable clothes before being admitted to the hospital.
    • Ask a friend or family member to assist you on the day of the surgery.

    Is it possible to treat an umbilical hernia without surgery?

    Generally, an umbilical hernia can’t be treated without surgery in adults. However, in children, the condition may disappear on its own by the time the child is three to four years old. If the condition doesn’t resolve on its own, surgery is performed to repair the hernia.

    When can I walk after umbilical hernia surgery?

    You can walk on the same day you had umbilical hernia surgery. There are no physical restrictions after the procedure. It means you can start walking as soon as you feel comfortable.

    What happens if umbilical hernia is not treated?

    If umbilical hernia is left untreated, the protruded tissues may get trapped or incarcerated. The tissues may no longer be pushed back into the abdominal cavity. This can lead to abdominal pain and tissue damage in the near future.

    Is umbilical hernia surgery covered under insurance?

    Yes. Umbilical hernia surgery is covered by all health insurance policies. All types of hernias, including umbilical hernia, can lead to serious life-threatening complications if not treated.
