Possibly: Discuss this with your surgeon. If you are otherwise healthy, both procedures might be able to be done during the same anesthetic session. The surgeon doing the tubal ligation may also be able to repair the umbilical hernia. Alternatively, one surgeon could do the former & another the latter operation during the same anesthetic session.
