Possible Risk from Umbilical Hernia Surgery
Like other surgical procedures, an umbilical hernia repair might have several risks. It would make you more prone to some complications, such as bleeding, a returning hernia, a wound rupture, a different look of the belly button, or a wound infection, which is typically characterized by a yellow discharge, swelling, pain, or redness. However, the risk is not high as long as your doctor follows all of the safety instructions. [8]
