• #1 Umbilical Hernia: Symptoms, What It Is, Treatment & Surgery

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/umbilical-hernia

  An umbilical hernia is a tissue bulge on or near your belly button. […] If your provider has concerns about an umbilical hernia, they may recommend surgery to put the tissue back into place. […] Umbilical hernias are usually not dangerous in babies. In adults, there’s a higher risk of complications. It’s important for you and your provider to monitor your hernia and time treatment to prevent the hernia from progressing. […] It depends on how severe it is. […] More than 90% of children with umbilical hernias heal by the time they’re 5 years old. […] If your child does need treatment, surgery can help. […] Most adults eventually need surgery. Umbilical hernias in adults are more likely to worsen and cause complications. […] During the procedure to treat umbilical hernia, a surgeon makes incisions (cuts) that allow them to access the hernia and push the tissue back into place. Then, they strengthen the abdominal wall muscle to hold the tissue in place. […] Surgery to treat umbilical hernias is also very effective, and the risk of the hernia coming back is low. […] If your provider’s concerned about complications, hernia repair surgery can help.

  Most umbilical hernias in babies close on their own by age 1 or 2. Your doctor may even be able to push the bulge back into the abdomen during a physical exam. Don’t try this on your own, however. […] For children, surgery is typically reserved for umbilical hernias that: […] For adults, surgery is typically recommended to avoid possible complications, especially if the umbilical hernia gets bigger or becomes painful. […] During surgery, a small incision is made near the bellybutton. The herniated tissue is returned to the abdominal cavity, and the opening in the abdominal wall is stitched closed. In adults, surgeons often use mesh to help strengthen the abdominal wall.

  Surgery for an umbilical hernia may be needed if it persists beyond age 5, causes pain, is larger than 1.5 cm, or leads to intestinal complications. […] Most umbilical hernias close on their own, but these conditions require intervention. […] Umbilical hernia surgery is a small operation that typically takes about 20-30 minutes. In most cases, the person receiving surgery will be able to go home on the same day. […] There is a higher risk of complications in adult umbilical hernias, and these almost always require surgery to correct. Hernia surgery typically takes about 20-30 minutes, and the person will be under general anesthesia for the duration of the procedure.

  If necessary, umbilical hernias can be treated with surgery to push the bulge back into place and strengthen the weakness in the abdominal wall. […] Surgery is recommended for most adults with an umbilical hernia because the hernia is unlikely to get better by itself when you’re older and the risk of complications is higher. […] Surgery will get rid of the hernia and prevent any serious complications, although there’s a chance of it returning after the operation. […] An umbilical hernia repair is a relatively simple procedure that normally takes about 20 to 30 minutes. General anaesthetic is usually used so there’s no pain while the operation is carried out. […] In children, the weak spot in the abdominal wall is usually closed with stitches. If the hernia is large or in adults, a special mesh may be used to strengthen the area instead.

  Paraumbilical and umbilical hernias are common as there is a natural weakness in the wall of your abdomen at your umbilicus. This is caused by the way babies develop in the womb. […] You should no longer have the hernia. Surgery should prevent the serious complications that a hernia can cause and allow you to return to normal activities. […] In children under the age of about 4, umbilical hernias tend to close. For older children and adults, surgery is recommended as it is the only dependable way to cure the condition. […] Occasionally, the hernia can get larger with time. It can also be dangerous because your intestines or other structures within your abdomen can get trapped and have their blood supply cut off (strangulated hernia). The symptoms that may suggest a strangulated hernia are:

  An operation is the only way to repair a hernia. You can return to your normal activities and in most cases will not have further discomfort. […] Your hernia can be repaired either as an open or laparoscopic approach. The repair can be done by using sutures only or adding a piece of mesh. […] The type of operation depends on hernia size and location, and if it is a repeat hernia (recurrence). Your health, age, and the surgeons expertise are also important. An operation is the only treatment for a hernia repair. […] Open mesh and laparoscopic repair for umbilical hernias do not differ in 30-day outcomes or in risk of recurrence. There is a slightly lower wound complication rate, including seromas, hematomas, and infection, with laparoscopic repair. Both types of operations have similar long-term results. […] The use of mesh provides a stronger repair and decreases the rate of recurrence. […] The method of repair does not appear to cause significant difference in early post-operative pain. […] The use of mesh or other type of patch repair appears to reduce the rate of recurrence.

  Umbilical hernia repair is a fairly quick and simple operation. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes and it’s usually possible to go home on the same day. […] In most cases, the operation is carried out under general anaesthetic. This means you’re unconscious during the procedure and won’t feel any pain as it’s carried out. […] During umbilical hernia repair, the surgeon makes a small cut at the base of the belly button and pushes the fatty lump or loop of bowel back into the tummy. […] The muscle layers at the weak spot in the abdominal wall where the hernia came through are stitched together to strengthen them. For large or adult umbilical hernias, a special mesh patch may be placed in the abdominal wall to strengthen the area instead. […] The wound on the surface of the skin is usually closed with dissolvable stitches.

  Umbilical hernia repair is surgery to repair an umbilical hernia. An umbilical hernia is a sac (pouch) formed from the inner lining of your belly (abdominal cavity) that pushes through a hole in the abdominal wall at the belly button. […] You will probably receive general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free) for this surgery. If your hernia is small, you may receive spinal, epidural block, or local anesthesia and medicine to relax you. If general anesthesia is not used, you will be awake but pain-free. […] Your surgeon will find your hernia and separate it from the tissues around it. Then your surgeon will gently push the contents of the hernia (either fat or intestine) back into the abdomen. Strong stitches will be used to repair the hole associated with the umbilical hernia. Your surgeon may also place a piece of mesh over the weak area (usually not in children) to make it stronger.

  An umbilical hernia can also be repaired using a laparoscope. This is a thin, lighted tube that lets the surgeon see inside your belly. The scope will be inserted through one of several small cuts. The instruments will be inserted through the other cuts. […] To avoid this problem, surgeons often recommend repairing umbilical hernias in adults. Surgery is also used for hernias that are getting larger or are painful. Surgery secures the weakened abdominal wall tissue (fascia) and closes any holes. […] Most umbilical hernia repairs are done on an outpatient basis. This means you will likely go home on the same day. Some repairs may require a short hospital stay if the hernia is very large. […] Follow instructions on how to care for your or your child’s incision at home. Your provider will tell you when you or your child resume your normal activities. For adults, this will be in 2 to 4 weeks. Children can likely return to most activities right away. […] There is always a chance that the hernia can come back. For healthy people, the risk of it coming back is very low.

  A laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair operation is done under general anaesthesia. It takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the hernia. Three keyhole-sized cuts (half-an-inch or less) are made on the left or right side of the tummy, away from the hernia. Any fat or bowel in the hernia is replaced into the abdomen (tummy). A special type of mesh (called a composite mesh) is placed underneath the muscles. The mesh is fixed to the muscles using stitches or surgical staples. The keyhole cuts are closed with dissolvable stitches. Depending on your individual circumstances, you may be able to go home on the day of the operation itself, or you may have to stay overnight in hospital. […] Like any operation on the abdomen, there is some risk of bleeding, injury to bowel and infection. Serious complications are rare. There is some risk that the hernia can come back (called recurrence of the hernia) after an operation. The risk of recurrence will depend on your individual circumstances. Also, there is some risk of chronic pain at the site of hernia repair operation.

  For most people who are living with the discomfort of an umbilical hernia, surgery is recommended to repair the problem. […] Because of the risk of incarceration and symptoms caused by the umbilical hernia, surgical repair is recommended for most patients. […] At Mount Sinai, surgical repair of small umbilical hernias is usually done using the traditional “open” surgery method. Larger umbilical hernias are classified as ventral hernias, and can be repaired with either “open” or laparoscopic techniques. […] To repair an umbilical hernia, the surgeons at Mount Sinai make an incision within or below the belly button. A surgical mesh, or patch, is usually placed over the site of the hernia within the muscle in order to provide long-term strength to help prevent the hernia from recurring. […] After surgery, you are usually able to leave the hospital on the same day, and patients usually take about three to five days off work after an open umbilical hernia repair.

  Prosthetic materials are widely used today in the repair of all kind of abdominal hernias. Arroyo et als (18) randomized clinical trial revealed that the recurrence rate was lower after mesh repair than that after suture repair (1% vs. 11%) in a 64-month mean postoperative follow-up. […] A systematic review and meta-analysis by Aslani and Brown (20) revealed that the use of mesh in umbilical hernia repair results in decreased recurrence and similar wound complication rates compared with tissue repair for primary umbilical hernias. […] Mesh repairs are superior to non-mesh/tissue-suture repairs in umbilical hernia repairs. Open and laparoscopic techniques have almost similar efficacy. Local anesthesia is suitable for small umbilical hernias and patients with reasonable BMI. Antibiotic prophylaxis appears to provide low wound infection rate.

• #1 Current options in umbilical hernia repair in adult patients

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4605112/

  Umbilical hernia is a rather common surgical problem. Elective repair after diagnosis is advised. Suture repairs have high recurrence rates; therefore, mesh reinforcement is recommended. Mesh can be placed through either an open or laparoscopic approach with good clinical results. Standard polypropylene mesh is suitable for the open onlay technique; however, composite meshes are required for laparoscopic repairs. Large seromas and surgical site infection are rather common complications that may result in recurrence. Obesity, ascites, and excessive weight gain following repair are obviously potential risk factors. Moreover, smoking may create a risk for recurrence. […] There are mainly two repair options for umbilical hernias: suture and mesh. Simple primary suture repair can be used for small defects (23 cm).

  Nonoperative management may be considered in asymptomatic patients with umbilical hernias; in these patients, the yearly risk of strangulation is less than 1%. A hernia that is symptomatic or increasing in size should be repaired. […] Umbilical hernias measuring 2 cm in greatest diameter are suitable for primary repair. For umbilical hernias measuring 2 cm in greatest diameter, herniorrhaphy with mesh is preferred; primary suture repair without mesh for hernias this size is associated with a 10% to 14% recurrence rate. […] Emergent herniorrhaphy is required in cases of incarceration or strangulation. Emergent procedures may be more technically demanding and require resection of nonviable intraabdominal contents such as bowel or omentum. Emergent repairs should employ a mesh closure whenever possible.

  The treatment for an umbilical hernia is an operation. Umbilical hernia surgery can be done in two ways. One way is traditional surgery through a cut directly over the hernia. This is called open umbilical hernia surgery. The alternative is to do the operation by keyhole surgery (laparoscopy), through small cuts that are placed away from the hernia. This is called laparoscopic umbilical hernia surgery. Ultimately, the choice between open surgery and laparoscopic surgery will depend on your individual circumstances. […] An open umbilical hernia repair operation is done under general anaesthesia. It takes about 30-45 minutes. A cut is made directly over the hernia. Usually, the hernia contains only fat. The fat may be excised or replaced back into your abdomen. If gap in the muscles is very small, it can be fixed with stitches only. If the gap is larger, a mesh is used to reinforce the muscles. The cut in the skin is closed with dissolvable stitches. This usually is a day-case operation. Most people are well enough to go home on the day of surgery itself, a few hours after the operation.

  A laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair operation is done under general anaesthesia. It takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the hernia. Three keyhole-sized cuts (half-an-inch or less) are made on the left or right side of the tummy, away from the hernia. Any fat or bowel in the hernia is replaced into the abdomen (tummy). A special type of mesh (called a composite mesh) is placed underneath the muscles. The mesh is fixed to the muscles using stitches or surgical staples. The keyhole cuts are closed with dissolvable stitches. Depending on your individual circumstances, you may be able to go home on the day of the operation itself, or you may have to stay overnight in hospital. […] Like any operation on the abdomen, there is some risk of bleeding, injury to bowel and infection. Serious complications are rare. There is some risk that the hernia can come back (called recurrence of the hernia) after an operation. The risk of recurrence will depend on your individual circumstances. Also, there is some risk of chronic pain at the site of hernia repair operation.

  Hernia repair with mesh should be considered for patients with defects larger than 4 cm. The type of mesh to be used is selected on the basis of the surgeon’s preference and experience. Open mesh repair of umbilical hernia appears to be associated with significantly lower recurrence rates than suture repair in adults. […] Laparoscopic repair should be considered for obese patients, patients with defects larger than 4 cm, and patients with recurrent hernias. Robotic assistance has facilitated this approach. […] Umbilical hernia repair is sometimes performed simultaneously with other abdominal procedures, such as abdominoplasty. […] For defects larger than 4 cm, a mesh onlay, sublay, or underlay should be used. Sublay mesh should be placed between the rectus muscle and the posterior sheath. For a mesh underlay, adhesions to the peritoneum should be excluded. Nonabsorbable 0 sutures are used to secure the mesh to the anterior abdominal wall.

  Robotically-assisted Umbilical Hernia surgery utilizes an advanced robotic platform that is not autonomous but is controlled by the surgeon who is seated in the operating room and operates via the Surgeon Console that controls the Patient Cart’s robotic devices, including various surgical instruments and a camera. […] After the intestines or other tissues have been pushed back in, a surgical mesh material is usually inserted to strengthen the weakened area in the abdominal wall. […] The traditional surgical method is employed when the hernia is extremely complex, and is most often used with inguinal or umbilical hernias. A complex hernia repair may require mesh removal, resection of the abdomen, or removal of extraneous skin or fat, and therefore is easier with open surgery. […] Hernia repair involves an operation, with overall one of two main approaches: Mesh repair – the use of mesh to enhance the repair & provide further reinforcement, Non-mesh repair – closing the abdominal defect with stitches, creating some tension.

  Even though some smaller hernias without symptoms can be watched over time, most research shows that even small hernias progress over time, therefore repairing them early may be beneficial. […] The goal in fixing an umbilical hernia is to reduce the hernia sac, or the lining of the belly which goes through the hernia defect, and then cover the opening to prevent fat or organs from going through the defect again. This can be fixed through an old-fashioned surgical incision in your groin (known as an open approach) or using minimally-invasive options either laparoscopically or robotically to create several small incisions on either your left or right flank. […] For smaller umbilical hernias, an open approach is typically preferred, as the incision can be shaped to the outline of the belly button and the repair can be done without the need for mesh.

• #2 Surgical Mesh Used for Hernia Repair | FDA

  https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/implants-and-prosthetics/surgical-mesh-used-hernia-repair

  Information found in medical literature has consistently demonstrated a reduced likelihood of a hernia developing again with the use of mesh. […] Patients should talk to their surgeons about their specific circumstances and their best options and alternatives for their hernia repair. […] The use of surgical mesh may also improve patient outcomes through decreased operative time and minimized recovery time. […] Based on the FDAs analysis of medical device adverse event reports and of peer-reviewed, scientific literature, the most common adverse events for all surgical repair of hernias with or without mesh are pain, infection, hernia recurrence, scar-like tissue that sticks tissues together (adhesion), blockage of the large or small intestine (obstruction), bleeding, abnormal connection between organs, vessels, or intestines (fistula), fluid build-up at the surgical site (seroma), and a hole in neighboring tissues or organs (perforation). […] For hernia repair with mesh, additional adverse events include migration or shrinkage (contraction) of the mesh itself, which may more likely be associated with the previously mentioned complications of hernia repair.

  Umbilical hernias measuring 2 cm in greatest diameter are suitable for primary repair. During an open primary repair, a curvilinear incision is made just inferior to the umbilicus. The hernia sac is dissected free to the fascial layer, and the fascia is circumferentially cleared. The sac may be excised or inverted, and the fascial defect closed primarily with nonabsorbable sutures. […] For umbilical hernias measuring 2 cm in greatest diameter, herniorrhaphy with mesh is preferred; primary suture repair without mesh for hernias this size is associated with a 10% to 14% recurrence rate. […] Laparoscopic umbilical hernia repairs are helpful in the setting of morbid obesity, multiple abdominal wall defects, concurrent intraabdominal pathology, and repair of a recurrent hernia but do not allow for a multilayered subcutaneous repair. […] Emergent herniorrhaphy is required in cases of incarceration or strangulation. Emergent procedures may be more technically demanding and require resection of nonviable intraabdominal contents such as bowel or omentum.

  Umbilical hernia is a rather common surgical problem. Elective repair after diagnosis is advised. Suture repairs have high recurrence rates; therefore, mesh reinforcement is recommended. Mesh can be placed through either an open or laparoscopic approach with good clinical results. Standard polypropylene mesh is suitable for the open onlay technique; however, composite meshes are required for laparoscopic repairs. Large seromas and surgical site infection are rather common complications that may result in recurrence. Obesity, ascites, and excessive weight gain following repair are obviously potential risk factors. Moreover, smoking may create a risk for recurrence.
