Laparoscopy of an umbilical hernia
A low-traumatic operation aimed at eliminating a hernia in the navel area.
An umbilical hernia is a protrusion of tissues or organs through a weakened place in the abdominal wall near the navel. Most often, this is an area of the intestine or adipose tissue that is pushed through a weak spot in the abdominal cavity. Umbilical hernias can occur in both adults and children.
Without treatment, an umbilical hernia can lead to serious complications. Surgery is the only effective way to treat hernias in adults. Laparoscopy, as a minimally invasive technique, provides effective treatment without large incisions.

Laparoscopic hernioplasty is performed under general anesthesia and lasts from 60 to 120 minutes. The surgeon makes three small punctures in the abdominal cavity, through which he inserts a laparoscope and special manipulators. With the help of a video endoscope, the doctor examines the hernia area, separates the adhesions (if any) and returns the internal organs to the correct position. To strengthen the abdominal wall, a mesh implant is installed from the inside, preventing the recurrence of hernia.

After the operation, the patient is in the hospital under supervision for 1 day. In the absence of complications, discharge is possible the next day. Full recovery takes up to 2 weeks, during which it is necessary to follow the doctor's recommendations on limiting physical activity and maintaining a special diet. A month later, a follow-up examination of the surgeon is carried out to assess the condition and results of the operation.
Benefits
Minimal invasiveness
The operation is performed through several punctures, which reduces the injury rate.
Low risk of recurrence
The mesh implant minimizes the risk of hernia recurrence.
Fast recovery
A return to a full life is possible after 1-2 weeks.
Low complication rate
The laparoscopic method reduces the likelihood of infection and the development of chronic pain.
