An efficient and minimally invasive method for fixing paraumbilical hernias is IPOM (Intra Peritoneal Onlay Mesh) surgery. The process is broken down as follows:
A paraumbilical hernia: what is it?

• A paraumbilical hernia happens when internal organs or tissue protrude through the umbilicus, a weak spot on the abdominal wall, close to the belly button.
• It frequently appears with weight gain or pregnancy.

What is IPOM surgery?

• IPOM surgery involves placing a mesh implant inside the abdomen to reinforce the weakened abdominal wall.
• The mesh acts as a support system, preventing the hernia from protruding and reducing the risk of recurrence.
• The procedure is typically performed laparoscopically, using small incisions in the abdomen to insert surgical instruments and a camera.

Benefits of IPOM surgery

• Minimally invasive: Smaller incisions lead to less pain, faster recovery, and smaller scars.
• Lower risk of recurrence: The mesh provides strong support to the weakened area.
• Reduced postoperative complications: Compared to open surgery, IPOM has a lower risk of infection, seroma (fluid accumulation), and wound complications.

Who is a good candidate for IPOM surgery?

• Patients with a paraumbilical hernia that is causing discomfort or pain
• Patients who have failed conservative treatment (e.g., wearing a support garment)
• Patients who are not obese or have significant medical conditions that would increase the risk of surgery

Please note: This information is for general knowledge and does not substitute professional medical advice. It’s crucial to consult with a qualified surgeon to determine if IPOM surgery is the right option for you. They will assess your specific condition, medical history, and discuss the potential risks and benefits of the procedure.
