Surgical Treatment of Paraumbilical and Umbilical Hernias in Adult Patients

Background: To assess the morbidity and post-operative consequences of various surgical repair techniques. Methods: This prospective observational surgical study comprised 50 cases of paraumbilical and umbilical hernias. It was completed by taking a patient’s medical history, doing a clinical examination, and conducting the necessary investigations for Operations were carried out. The two surgical techniques used to treat the patients were Mayo’s repair and tension-free repair utilizing prolene mesh (mesh repair). Findings: Females were more likely to have paraumbilical and umbilical hernias. The age ranges of 25-35 and 45–55 years had the highest incidence. The most frequent complaint was abdominal swelling, which was followed by pain. In both procedures, post-operative problems such as seroma and wound infection were observed. Mayo’s anatomical repair and tension clinic performed surgery on these hernias.
