A member asked:
Can an endoscopy detect a hernia? specifically an umbilical hernia?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unlikely: An umbilical hernia occurs when there is either fat/soft tissue/bowel that is caught in the underside of the umbilicus (navel). Typically this is seen with imaging such as a CT scan, not with endoscopy.
