Risks

• Strangulation
• Gangrene
• Death of tissue

Procedure:

• The patient receives general anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience and induce sleep during the surgery, minimizing any anxiety or discomfort.
• Small incisions are made in the abdominal region to allow the insertion of a laparoscope and surgical instruments.
• The laparoscope provides enhanced visualization of the internal organs, facilitating the identification of the hernia sac.
• The intestine is gently repositioned to its proper place, and if necessary, a hernia mesh is strategically placed around the muscle wall to prevent the organ from protruding again.
• Umbilical hernia repair surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis, with the patient being discharged on the same day. Subsequent recovery takes place at home, and the doctor will provide a comprehensive recovery plan to expedite the healing process during this period.
