Paraumbilical Hernia (IPOM Mesh Repair)
A hernia just above or beside the navel. Dr. Sohel-Uzzaman treats it with laparoscopic IPOM (intraperitoneal onlay mesh) repair.
About this condition
A hernia that forms just above or beside the navel is called an umbilical or paraumbilical hernia. It is seen more often in older people, pregnant women and patients with a history of abdominal surgery. The lump grows slowly and the problem can worsen over time.
Treatment
Placing a mesh through small incisions is known as laparoscopic IPOM mesh repair. A mesh lighter than your own abdominal wall is placed inside the abdomen, which reduces the chance of the lump coming back. Patients recover quickly after the operation.
