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
