About Umbilical Hernia Treatment
An umbilical hernia appears as a soft bulge or swelling near the navel (belly button). It occurs when part of the intestine or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles. At Paras Hospital, Patna, we provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for umbilical hernias in both adults and children using laparoscopic and open surgery techniques.
Whether caused by obesity, pregnancy, or past surgeries, our general and laparoscopic surgeons offer safe and effective hernia repair procedures tailored to your condition.

What is an Umbilical Hernia?
An umbilical hernia occurs when a part of the intestine protrudes through the abdominal wall near the belly button. In infants, it usually closes on its own, but in adults, surgery is often required to avoid complications like strangulation or obstruction.
Common Causes of Umbilical Hernia:
-
Weakness in abdominal muscles
-
Obesity or sudden weight gain
-
Heavy lifting or chronic coughing
-
Pregnancy or multiple childbirths
-
Post-surgical abdominal wall weakness
-
Persistent constipation or straining
Umbilical Hernia Treatment Options at Paras Hospital, Patna
Our team of skilled hernia specialists provides both open and laparoscopic surgery depending on the size and severity of the hernia:
Laparoscopic Umbilical Hernia Surgery
A minimally invasive procedure using small incisions and a camera. It ensures less pain, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring.
Open Umbilical Hernia Repair
Traditional surgery where the bulging tissue is pushed back and the muscle wall is reinforced, often with mesh to prevent recurrence.
Mesh Repair for Umbilical Hernia
Used in larger or recurrent hernias to strengthen the abdominal wall and reduce the risk of reherniation.
Daycare Hernia Surgery
In most cases, patients can go home the same day after surgery, making recovery convenient and hassle-free.
