Pathophysiology
Most umbilical hernias are recognised shortly after birth, after the cord sloughs and the umbilicus heals. They are rarely symptomatic. The umbilical ring continues to close over time and the umbilical fascia strengthens, resulting in spontaneous resolution of the defect in most children.
Disease statistics
It is a condition in which the intestines or fat, which is normally inside the abdominal cavity, protrudes through the muscles under the skin in the groin area. And in Japan approximately 100,000 patients undergo hernia operations every year - the disease is as common as appendicitis.
Disease treatment
During surgery, a small incision is made at the base of the bellybutton. The herniated tissue is returned to the abdominal cavity, and the opening in the abdominal wall is stitched closed. In adults, surgeons often use mesh to help strengthen the abdominal wall.
Major research
St. Lukes International Hospital specializes in the treatment of Hernia in adults and research centre for hernia. A specialist in hernia repair examines patients and recommends the best therapy.
