Diagnosis
Umbilical hernia can be diagnosed easily with the help of a physical examination. The doctor will feel the bulge or swelling around the belly button. In a baby, the bulge will be more noticeable when he/she cries.
During the diagnosis, the doctor will also identify if the hernia is reducible or not. Some tests may also be recommended to see if the umbilical hernia has become incarcerated. These tests include X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, or a CT scan.
The results from these tests will help the doctor determine the severity of the condition and the most appropriate treatment method.
Procedure
At Pristyn Care, our general surgeons prefer using the laparoscopic technique to repair an umbilical hernia. The surgery is performed in the following steps-
The patient is given general anesthesia to numb their body and to make sure that they are asleep during the procedure. This will prevent the patient from feeling anxious or worried during the procedure.
Umbilical hernia repair surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, so the patient will get discharged on the same day. The recovery will happen at home. Therefore, the doctor will provide a detailed plan to follow during this period that will promote faster healing.

At the time of birth, the child is still connected to the mother through an umbilical cord which is cut off after birth. Normally, the opening in the abdominal muscles through which the umbilical cord passes closes itself. However, in some cases, the opening doesn’t close and a hole in the abdominal muscle wall is created that leads to the development of umbilical hernia in infants.
Hernia mesh may or may not be used to repair the muscle wall. Normally, the decision is made by the surgeon after diagnosis. If the weak point in the muscle wall can heal on its own without any support, then hernia mesh is not used. If the wall needs reinforcement, then the hernia mesh is placed to keep the organ in its original place and prevent it from protruding from the wall.
In Hubli dharwad, the cost of umbilical hernia repair surgery ranges from Rs. 55,000 to Rs. 90,000 approximately. The doctor usually provides an estimate of the overall expense of the treatment after diagnosis. But the final cost may vary due to factors like the severity of the condition, doctor’s fee, hospitalization cost, mesh used, risks, etc.

You can do little to prevent areas of the abdominal wall from becoming weak. You can add exercise and eat healthy to keep your muscles strong.
In children, doctors usually advise the parents to wait, watch the symptoms, and take the necessary precautions. As the condition resolves on its own in the first two years, the doctor will postpone the surgical treatment.
If the hernia doesn’t go away even after the child reaches the age of 4-5, surgical repair may be recommended as the chances of complications are higher.
The following complications can arise if an umbilical hernia is not treated on time-
Both these complications can arise in children as well as adults and they can be life-threatening. Thus, surgery will be needed to release the trapped tissues and restore the blood supply as soon as possible.
