What is umbilical hernia surgery?

There are two main approaches to umbilical hernia surgery:

The most effective or preferred method for umbilical hernia surgery depends on the patient's condition, the surgeon's preferences, and hospital regulations. Umbilical hernias are usually treated with simple suturing.

If the surgeon discovers, before or during the surgery, that the tissue is weak, they may recommend mesh implantation to reduce the likelihood of hernia recurrence after surgery.

In cases of recurrence, in all instances where a second surgery is performed, and in some hospitals that always perform these procedures laparoscopically, mesh is used because laparoscopic surgery always requires support.

The mesh can be inserted by the surgeon and can support the muscles.
