In these videos I explain in very simple language, anatomy and physiology (working) of different organs in human body. In each season I will select an organ and will talk about most common conditions that affect that part. I will talk about why that condition happens, diagnosis, investigations, complications, treatment and outcome of that disease.
Umbilical hernias are common hernias and can occur in any age. Umbilical hernias present at birth will most likely to close by the age of 2 to 5 years. These hernias are more common in adult males and are usually associated with obesity. Complications of these hernias include obstruction and strangulation. Surgery for these hernias is straight forward and can be performed with either an open incision or keyhole (laparoscopic) approach. Risk of hernia increases with conditions which increase the pressure in the abdomen like obesity, fluid build up in the abdomen, peritoneal dialysis, pregnancy etc. Do also watch my videos on Epigastric hernia, incisional hernia, Spigelian hernia, inguinal hernia and femoral hernia or many other topics.
