Umbilical Hernia Surgery: What You Need to Know
An umbilical hernia is a condition that occurs when the abdominal tissues or intestines protrude through a weak point in the abdominal wall. This hernia, which occurs around the navel, becomes especially noticeable when intra-abdominal pressure increases. Umbilical hernias are conditions that usually require surgical intervention.
What is an Umbilical Hernia?
Umbilical hernias usually occur because of a weakness in the abdominal wall. The hernia appears as a bulge or protrusion in the navel area, and tenderness or pain may be felt when the area is touched. Umbilical hernias can occur at any age, but they are more common after pregnancy or excessive weight gain.
What Causes Umbilical Hernia?
Various factors play a role in the formation of an umbilical hernia:
Heavy Lifting: Frequently lifting heavy loads can cause pressure in the abdominal area, which can trigger a hernia.
Pregnancy: Increased intra-abdominal pressure during pregnancy may increase the risk of umbilical hernia.
Obesity: In overweight individuals, more pressure is placed on the abdominal muscles, which can lead to the development of a hernia.
Surgical History: Previous abdominal surgeries may create weakness in the abdominal wall and cause a hernia.
How is Umbilical Hernia Surgery Performed?
Umbilical hernia surgery is a surgical procedure performed to replace the hernia and repair the weak spot in the abdominal wall. There are two basic surgical methods:
Open Hernia Surgery: In this method, the surgeon makes an incision in the navel area and pushes the hernia back and repairs the abdominal wall. It is usually reinforced with a mesh. Open hernia surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia.
Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery: This method is a minimally invasive technique, where several small incisions are made in the abdominal wall and surgical procedures are performed with the help of a camera. The laparoscopic method is known for its faster recovery time and less postoperative pain.
Recovery Process After Umbilical Hernia Surgery
The recovery time after surgery may vary depending on the surgical method used and the patient's general health. In general, patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks. Things to consider after surgery include:
Rest: It is important to rest and avoid strenuous activity for the first few days.
Pain Management: Painkillers recommended by the doctor can be used.
Wound Care: Keeping incision areas clean reduces the risk of infection.
Exercise: Activities such as light walks can contribute to the healing process.
