Do you know what recovery is for this surgery??? my husbands umbilical cord has infection and antibiotics didn't wrk so needs surgeon
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Experienced doctor: An umbilical hernia (?) surgery is I think what you are asking about... These are generally considered routine. But of course it's always a good idea to do your homework and call around to different surgeons in your area. What you want to ask is 'how many' they have done and what their complication rate is. That way you can be informed going in. The more experienced docs have the best treatment.
