Umbilical hernia repair is a surgical procedure to correct a hernia at the belly button, where tissue from inside the abdomen — typically fat or a small loop of intestine — pushes through a weakness in the abdominal wall muscle. In adults, these hernias do not close on their own, and surgery is the only way to permanently fix the defect. The surgeon returns the protruding tissue to the abdomen and reinforces the weakened area, usually with a small piece of surgical mesh to reduce the risk of the hernia returning. The operation can be performed as open surgery through a small incision near the navel, or as laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery through three small incisions on the abdomen. Most repairs are short procedures — typically 30 to 90 minutes — and many patients go home the same day, returning to light daily activities within one to two weeks.
A small curved incision is made near the belly button to directly repair the hernia, usually reinforced with mesh to prevent recurrence.
