Whether congenital (in infants) or acquired (in adults),umbilical hernia is often associated with weakness of the abdominal wall, favored by factors such as intense physical exertion, chronic cough, obesity, or pregnancy.
Clinically, it takes the form of a lump of varying size around the umbilicus. This lump is usually painless at rest, but may become painful with exertion or sudden movement. In some cases it may be associated with a feeling of heaviness or digestive problems such as nausea, vomiting or constipation.
The diagnosis of an umbilical hernia is usually made during a physical examination by your doctor in Turkey. He or she will be able to observe the lump at the navel, which often increases in size when you cough or stand up.
In some cases, further tests may be needed to confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent of the hernia:
The treatment of umbilical hernia in Turkey is exclusively surgical.
The procedure involves herniorrhaphy with or without a prosthesis to reduce the hernia and strengthen the abdominal wall.
Before undergoing umbilical hernia surgery in Turkey, the patient must prepare by following the surgeon's instructions. This preparation usually includes:
In some cases, premedication may be required.
Umbilical hernia surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small incision at or near the belly button. The surgeon then moves the herniated tissue (fat, sometimes a piece of intestine) back to its normal position in the abdomen. The surgeon may place a prosthesis to strengthen the abdominal wall and prevent a recurrence. Finally, he uses absorbable stitches to close the wound.
In Turkey, umbilical hernia surgery is performed using two main techniques:
After surgery, the patient is taken to the recovery room for close monitoring of vital signs.
Umbilical hernia surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis, i.e. without prolonged hospitalization.
Postoperative recovery is usually quick. Intense physical activity should be avoided for a few weeks, but most patients can return to normal activities within a month.
The risks associated with umbilical hernia surgery are minimal and mainly include bleeding, infection or recurrence of the hernia or, more rarely, injury to a nearby organ.
Regular follow-up by the surgeon is essential to ensure proper healing and the absence of complications.
A follow-up visit is usually scheduled one month after surgery.
