Umbilical hernias have historically been repaired without mesh resulting in<br />

recurrence rates in some series of up to 40%.<br />

A total of 100 patients who underwent umbilical and paraumbilical hernia repair over an<br />

8-year period were studied retrospectively.<br />

managing primary and recurrent umbilical hernias in both obese<br />

and non-obese patients.<br />
