Laparoscopic Umbilical Hernia Repair

Safe & Permanent Solution for Navel Hernia

Laparoscopic Umbilical Hernia Repair is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat hernia near the belly button (navel). It occurs when internal tissue or intestine pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall.

At Dr. Rajiv Manek’s clinic in Mumbai, we offer advanced laparoscopic hernia repair using modern techniques and mesh support to ensure long-lasting results and faster recovery.

What is Umbilical Hernia?

An umbilical hernia appears as a bulge near the belly button, caused by weakness in the abdominal muscles.

It may increase in size over time and cause discomfort, especially during:

• Coughing or straining
• Lifting heavy objects
• Standing for long periods

👉 It does not heal on its own and usually requires surgical repair.

Symptoms of Umbilical Hernia

• Visible swelling near the navel
• Pain or discomfort
• Bulge that increases with pressure
• Feeling of heaviness in abdomen
• Pain during physical activity

What is Laparoscopic Hernia Repair?

This procedure involves repairing the hernia using small incisions and a laparoscope (camera).

• The bulging tissue is pushed back into place
• A surgical mesh is placed to strengthen the weak area
• Small cuts ensure minimal trauma

👉 It is the most preferred method due to faster recovery and lower recurrence.
