Umbilical Hernia



herniainfo Umbilical hernias occur around the navel and are common in women during or after pregnancy. They are often referred to as "outies".

Treatment Options

Any one of these hernias may be recurrent. This means, simply, that a previously repaired hernia has returned. People with especially weak abdominal walls or multiple surgical sites may simultaneously suffer from a combination of types of hernias.
