Umbilical hernia
I have umbilical hernia, which type of surgery is good with less recurrence and low complications.
Does mesh inserted to repair cause problems later??
Hello. The treatment modality will depend on the size of your umbilical hernia. Mesh usually doesnt cause any complications if used with caution. Risk of infection accompanies any surgical procedure.
Next Steps
You can consult me with the usg/other reports.

A laparoscopic repair offers quick recovery, minimal scar. Meshes are important to prevent recurrence of hernia, while they can cause some minor problems, it’s not recommended to perform a hernia repair without a mesh. Best results are achieved at the time of the first repair.
Next Steps
Consult a laparoscopic surgeon for hernia repair.
