A study published in Laparoscopic Surgery reported that laparoscopic umbilical herniorrhaphy with intracorporeal neck closure is a viable form of hernia repairs. According to the study, laparoscopic repair of umbilical hernias was performed on 19 patients in which the hernia neck was addressed by suturing it close with a non-absorbable suture and then applying an underlay mesh. The study further reported that there were no hernia recurrences over a two year follow up. Source: Laparoscopic Surgery Do you think laparoscopic repair of umbilical hernias is advantageous? A.
