Description

Umbilical hernia is a common condition in which abdominal contents protrude through a weakness in the abdominal wall near the navel. While small hernias in children may resolve spontaneously, in adults they often require surgical correction to avoid complications like pain, obstruction, or strangulation. With the advancement of minimal access surgery, laparoscopic repair of umbilical hernia has become the preferred approach due to its precision, reduced pain, and faster recovery. At World Laparoscopy Hospital, under the expertise of Dr. R. K. Mishra, one of the pioneers in minimal access surgery, patients receive world-class treatment with state-of-the-art laparoscopic techniques that ensure both safety and effectiveness. Why Choose Laparoscopic Repair? Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic repair offers several advantages: Smaller Incisions: Only a few keyhole cuts instead of a large abdominal incision. Less Pain: Patients experience minimal post-operative discomfort. Quicker Recovery: Most patients can return to routine activities within a few days. Cosmetic Benefit: Reduced scarring around the umbilicus. Lower Recurrence Rates: With mesh reinforcement, the chances of hernia recurrence are minimized. The Surgical Procedure Dr. Mishra and his team follow internationally standardized protocols for laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair: Anesthesia: The patient is given general anesthesia. Port Placement: Small keyhole incisions are made to insert a laparoscope and instruments. Defect Identification: The hernia sac and defect in the abdominal wall are visualized. Reduction: Herniated contents are gently repositioned inside the abdominal cavity. Mesh Placement: A special prosthetic mesh is placed over the defect and fixed securely to reinforce the abdominal wall. Closure: Instruments are removed, and small incisions are closed with fine sutures or glue. Expertise of Dr. R. K. Mishra Over 25 years of surgical excellence in laparoscopic and robotic surgery. Founder and Director of World Laparoscopy Hospital, Gurugram, India. Internationally recognized educator and author in the field of minimal access surgery. His laparoscopic repair techniques emphasize patient safety, low recurrence, and enhanced recovery. Post-Operative Care and Recovery Most patients are discharged within 24 hours. Light activities can be resumed in 2–3 days. Strenuous activities and heavy lifting are restricted for a few weeks. Regular follow-up ensures proper healing and long-term success.
