Hernia Surgery
Umbilical Hernia
Dr. Adarsh M. Patil provides expert umbilical hernia surgery in Bangalore. Umbilical hernia surgery cost in Bangalore: open repair ₹35,000–₹70,000, laparoscopic mesh repair ₹60,000–₹1,20,000. An umbilical hernia appears as a soft swelling at or near the navel caused by a weakness in the abdominal wall. Adult umbilical hernias require surgical correction to prevent complications such as incarceration. Dr. Adarsh uses laparoscopic and open mesh techniques at Apollo Clinic, Indiranagar, and SPARSH Hospital.
About Umbilical Hernia
An umbilical hernia is a bulge near your belly button that happens when a part of your intestine or fatty tissue pushes through a weak spot in your tummy muscles. You might notice a soft lump near your navel that gets bigger when you cough, strain, or stand for a long time. In adults, this type of hernia does not go away on its own and usually gets bigger over time. If left untreated, there is a risk that the intestine can get trapped (doctors call this "incarceration"), which is a medical emergency. Dr. Adarsh M. Patil performs umbilical hernia repair using keyhole (laparoscopic) and robotic surgery at Apollo Clinic, Indiranagar, Bangalore — you can go home the same day with barely visible scars.
