A member asked:
Do you recommend even with a hernia as small as 0.56cm paraumbilical protruding through fat only should be repaired?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Watched vs. surgery : If asymptomatic, nothing. Can leave it alone. Especially if small and not changing over the years. If painful, large or increasing in size better to have surgery and fix it before it gets large. Usually an outpatient surgery with a small cut below your umbilicus.
