Overview
Umbilical hernia surgery is indicated when umbilical hernia is larger than 2cm, “elephant’s trunk” appearance, does not spontaneously close by 5 to 6 years of age, symptomatic, strangulation, or increases in size after the age of 1 to 2 years. Surgical repair for an uncomplicated umbilical hernia is done under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Mesh implantation include bridging the defect and placing a preperitoneal mesh with suture repair. Postoperative recovery is usually uneventful. Recurrence is seen in patients with elevated intra-abdominal pressures. Laparoscopic technique is reserved for large defects or recurrent umbilical hernias.
Indications
- Larger than 2 cm
- “Elephant’s trunk” appearance
- Did not spontaneously close by 5 to 6 years of age
- Symptomatic
- Strangulation
- Hernia increases in size after the age of 1 to 2 years
Surgery
Surgery for umbilical hernia is as follows:[1][2][5]
- Surgical repair for an uncomplicated umbilical hernia is done under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure.
- Small curvilinear incision is made into the skin crease of the umbilicus
- Sac is dissected free from the overlying skin and the fascial defect
- Ensures that no abdominal content are present prior to the repair
- Fascial defect is repaired with absorbable, interrupted sutures
- Skin is closed using subcuticular sutures with monocryl or vicryl
- In adults
- Mesh implantation include bridging the defect and placing a preperitoneal mesh with suture repair.
- Laparoscopy is reserved for large defects or recurrent umbilical hernias.
- Postoperative recovery is usually uneventful.
- Recurrence is seen in patients with elevated intra-abdominal pressures.
