About Umbilical Hernia
An umbilical hernia is a soft bulge near your belly button caused by a small gap in your tummy muscles. Part of your intestine or fatty tissue pushes through this gap and creates a lump you can see or feel. The lump usually gets bigger when you cough, strain, or stand for a long time, and may shrink when you lie down. In adults, belly button hernias do not heal on their own — they slowly get bigger over time. Dr. Adarsh M. Patil is among the best doctors for laparoscopic umbilical hernia surgery in Bangalore, performing keyhole repair at Apollo Clinic, Indiranagar, and SPARSH Hospital. Laparoscopic surgery uses 3–4 tiny holes instead of a large cut — you go home the same day with minimal pain and barely visible scars, and return to work within 1–2 weeks.
