Age-dependent outcomes in asymptomatic umbilical hernia repair
2019
Purpose
Umbilical hernias are common in young children. Many resolve spontaneously by age four with very low risk of symptoms or incarceration. Complications associated with surgical repair of asymptomatic umbilical hernias have not been well elucidated. We analyzed data from one hospital to test the hypothesis that repair at younger ages is associated with increased complication rates.
