This Video demonstrates a Single 10mm Port Umbilical Hernia Surgery performed by Dr. R K Mishra at World Laparoscopy Hospital. Umbilical hernia repair laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that fixes umbilical hernias. An umbilical hernia involves a bulge or pouch that forms in the abdomen. This type of bulge occurs when a section of the intestine or other abdominal cavity tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall near the belly button. It can develop in young children and adults.
In rare cases, adults with umbilical hernias can develop a serious condition called strangulation. Strangulation occurs when the blood flow to the herniated tissue is suddenly cut off. This can occur in umbilical hernias that are non-reducible, or can’t be pushed back into the abdominal cavity.
Symptoms of strangulation include nausea, vomiting, and severe pain. The area around the umbilical hernia might look blue as if you have a bruise. The herniated contents could also become nonfunctional and die if they’re strangulated.
The risks of umbilical hernia repair surgery are generally low. However, complications might occur if you have other serious medical conditions. Speak with your doctor if you’re concerned about having an increased risk of complications.
Other risks that are rare may include:
allergic reaction to anesthesia
blood clots
infection
injury to the small intestine or other intra-abdominal structures
How do I prepare for umbilical hernia repair surgery?
Umbilical hernia repair surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. This means that you’ll be fully asleep and won’t experience any pain.
Some abdominal hernias can be repaired using a spinal block instead of general anesthesia. A spinal block is an anesthetic drug placed around your spinal cord. It allows you to feel numb in the area of the abdomen being repaired. You’ll be less asleep for this procedure, but you’ll be given pain relieving and sedation medications to keep you comfortable during the surgery.
You’ll likely need to stop taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen several days before the surgery. This will reduce your risk of significant bleeding during the procedure.
Fasting for at least six hours before surgery is generally a standard requirement. However, your doctor may give you different instructions before the surgery.
