Umbilical hernia surgery is a general surgical procedure performed to repair a weakness in the abdominal wall near the navel (umbilicus). This condition allows tissue or intestine to protrude through the abdominal wall, creating a visible bulge that may cause discomfort or pain.
Umbilical hernias can affect both adults and children. In adults, surgical repair is commonly recommended when symptoms are present, the hernia increases in size, or there is a risk of complications.

Recovery following umbilical hernia surgery depends on the surgical technique used and individual patient factors. Most patients can resume light activities shortly after surgery, with gradual return to normal activities as advised. Post-operative guidance includes wound care, activity modification, and pain management.
A consultation is required to confirm the diagnosis of an umbilical hernia and determine whether surgical repair is appropriate. During the consultation, the surgeon will assess symptoms, perform an examination, and discuss all available treatment options before making any surgical recommendation.
Patients from across Canada may request a private general surgery consultation to evaluate umbilical hernias and discuss surgical repair options.
