Ventral/Umbilical
Ventral hernias, typically occurring at the sites of previous surgical incisions, lead to a visible bulge, discomfort, and pain. Surgical repair is usually necessary. Umbilical hernias, often seen in infants and occasionally persisting into adulthood, result from incomplete abdominal muscle closure during fetal development. They may require surgical intervention. Both hernias entail surgery to strengthen the abdominal wall and eliminate the protrusion. Consult with a healthcare provider to assess your condition, discuss treatment options, and seek guidance. Dr. Randy Lehman at Liberty Clinic specializes in hernia care and surgical treatment for your specific needs.
