Does umbilical hernia repair require hospitalisation?

No: Usually an outpatient surgery at a hospital or surgery center. Can go home after recovered from the anesthetic. Unless the surgery is being performed for some uncommon emergency.

If healthy, No: Generally, if you are in good health, the laparoscopic umbilical hernia repair can be done as a same day procedure. Good luck.

Not usually: For smaller umbilical hernias, you can usually go home the same day. For larger hernias, especially if the surgeon makes a larger incision, then you may stay in the hospital to get IV pain medications. But most people go home the same day.
