Umbilical Hernia
Dr. Fiszer performs these procedures using the most advanced surgical technologies.
A hernia is a weak area of the abdominal wall that can potentially allow internal contents to protrude creating the typical bulging. There are different types of hernias depending on their location, origin, or complications.
Hernias can develop in multiple places of the abdominal wall and the most common ones include: the umbilicus or navel, the groin, and the upper abdomen. Some hernias can be present at birth, which are called congenital. However, most develop over the years or at the site of a surgical scar.
Generally, the contents that protrude consist only of fat that we carry inside of the belly. There is a risk of internal organ involvement, such as the intestine. When that happens and it cannot be pushed back inside the defect, that segment of bowel can be compromised and potentially die if not addressed.
A surgical incision that involved the entire thickness of the abdominal wall can also become a hernia. This can occur when there is failure of the incision to completely close or heal. This is called an incisional hernia located at the site of the incision.
