Umbilical Hernia

Umbilical Hernia: Expert Diagnosis & Treatment

An umbilical hernia occurs when part of the intestine or abdominal tissue protrudes through a weak spot near the belly button (navel). Common causes include congenital weakness, pregnancy, obesity, chronic coughing, and heavy lifting.

Common Symptoms:
  • Soft bulge near the belly button
  • Mild pain or discomfort, especially when coughing or straining
  • Swelling that worsens with activity or after eating
  • Redness or tenderness (in rare cases, may indicate complications)
Treatment Options:
01
✅ Surgical Repair

The standard treatment involves repositioning the herniated tissue and reinforcing the abdominal wall, often with surgical mesh. This is typically a safe, outpatient procedure with minimal recovery time.
02
✅ Robotic-Assisted Surgery

A minimally invasive option using advanced robotic technology for precise hernia repair through small incisions. Benefits include:

  • Less post-operative pain
  • Smaller scars
  • Faster recovery
  • Shorter hospital stay

Our centre offers customized care using the latest techniques to ensure a safe, effective, and comfortable recovery. Early treatment helps prevent complications and promotes long-term relief.
