Umbilical hernia is a medical condition that occurs when part of the intestine or organ tissue in the abdomen bulges out of its normal position, burrows out of the abdominal wall and forms a convex mass of the area around the navel. There are many different forms of umbilical hernia and are common in infants – young children, rare in adults. In some cases, doctors are forced to prescribe umbilical hernia surgery and anesthesia is always one of the important steps when performing this surgery.

1. When is umbilical hernia surgery usually carried out?

Umbilical hernia surgery aims to return the bulge to its correct position quickly and strengthen the abdominal wall. However, umbilical hernia surgery is not always in place. In some cases, the umbilical hernia – cleft abdominal wall can be self-cured. In particular, for the group of babies before the age of 12 months, the majority of hernias will close on their own without treatment.

Surgical in dinhion will usually be applied when:

  • There is hernia development after the baby is 1-2 years old.
  • Hernia mass persists when the child is 4 years old.
  • There are intestines located in the hernial sict and cause decreased congestion or intestinal obstruction.
  • Hernia block jam…

For adults, surgical insymedness will be more in place to prevent potential risks, especially for cases where exit begins to develop painfully.

3. Procedure for umbilical hernia surgery – cleft abdominal wall

Surgery is usually started from in-administration anesthesia . After the anesthesia is complete and the patient is stable, surgeons will make an incision under the navel. The abdominal mucosa will be convex outside the muscle layer and isolated. It is this location that is the "hernial s pocket". Accordingly, doctors will manipulate to bring this hernial bag back to the right position.

If the incision is small, it can be sutured and these stitches will persist permanently to limit the recurrence of the hernial sic vesicy in the future.

If the defect is large, doctors will use a grafted mesh to cover the holes in the muscles. The mesh membrane will prevent the reappearion of hernias. Surgery for umbilical hernia and abdominal wall opening usually lasts for about 30 minutes.

Before performing anesthesia, the patient needs to:

  • Be given a pre-anaesthetic examination a few days in advance to advise on the method of anesthesia, benefits as well as risks and complications of each method, control risk factors, prevent complications during anesthesia.
  • Persuade patients to cooperate (for children).
  • Assess if the patient is in a difficult in-administration tube.
  • In case of necessity, the patient can use sedatives from the dark before surgery.
