ABSTRACT: Introduction: Umbilical hernia in adults poses a challenge to the
surgeon. Understanding the anatomical and pathological intricacies of the
hernia is pivotal in evolving a good repair. A multitude of repairs have been
tried for repair of umbilical hernias. However none of them have withstood the
test of time. Objective: The study aims at evolving a technique which provides
mesh reinforced anatomical reconstruction of the defect. Materials and Methods:
20 patients underwent a combination repair for umbilical hernia. The results were
tabulated and analysed. Results: None of the 20 patients developed any
recurrence. Conclusion: A combined mesh reinforcement of tissue repair is
advocated for umbilical hernias in adults.
