Umbilical Hernia SurgeryMumbai
Umbilical hernias occur around the belly button. Dr. Sharad Sharma offers repair for adults and children when needed, in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.
What Is an Umbilical Hernia?
An umbilical hernia is a bulge through the abdominal wall at or near the belly button. In adults it usually requires surgical repair. In children, many close on their own. Symptoms can include a visible lump, discomfort, or pain when straining. Surgery is the only definitive treatment for adults.
Symptoms & Diagnosis
Common signs include a bulge at the navel that may be more noticeable when standing or coughing, and discomfort or pain. Diagnosis is usually by physical examination; imaging may be used when needed. We recommend early consultation to plan the best treatment.
When Surgery Is Needed
Surgery is recommended when the hernia is symptomatic, enlarging, or at risk of complications. Delaying repair can lead to incarceration or strangulation. We offer same-day or next-day consultations at our Mumbai and Navi Mumbai clinics.
Surgical Options
We offer open and laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair. Mesh may be used to reinforce the repair and reduce recurrence. Dr. Sharad Sharma will recommend the most suitable technique based on your hernia size and overall health.
