A member asked:
If i don't want a open surgery, and not a laparoscopy when i have an umbilical hernia, do i have any other options that have short recovery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Laparoscopic: Is likely the least invasion and with the quickest healing time. The other choice is just to leave it, unless it is causing pain. All the best.
