Laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair in Vizag, Hyderabad & Vijayawada. USFDA mesh, same-day discharge, tiny scar.
An umbilical hernia occurs when part of the intestine or fatty tissue protrudes through a weak area in the abdominal muscles near the navel (belly button). It appears as a soft bulge at or near the belly button. In infants, it often resolves by age 1-2; in adults, surgical repair is required as it does not heal on its own.
SurgiKure performs laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair through 3 tiny incisions. A USFDA-approved mesh is placed to reinforce the abdominal wall defect. The procedure takes 30-45 minutes under general anaesthesia and is typically a same-day discharge procedure with a very low recurrence rate.
May be repaired with primary suture. Mesh still recommended to prevent recurrence in adults.
Standard laparoscopic mesh repair recommended. Day-care procedure with excellent outcomes.
May require more complex mesh repair. Hospital stay of 1-2 days depending on complexity.
3 tiny keyhole incisions. A USFDA-approved mesh is placed inside the abdominal cavity over the defect. Excellent for medium and large hernias. Same-day discharge, minimal pain.
Small incision at the belly button. Defect sutured directly — used for very small hernias under 1cm. No mesh required.
Incision near the navel with mesh placed over or under the defect. Effective but slightly longer recovery than laparoscopic approach.
For small, asymptomatic hernias in elderly patients. Surgery is planned when symptoms develop or hernia enlarges.
