Abstract

In this study the autors present their initial experience with 8 patients with umbilical hernias, operated laparoscopically in the surgery clinic of the university hospital "Sweta Anna" in Sofia for the period from 2002 to 2005. There were no intraoperative complications as well suppurations detected for a 18 months postoperative follow up. We found out lesser postoperative pain and shorter reccurence period by the laparoscopically operated patients in comparison with these, who had undergone a conventional repair. The autors made a review of the related literature and the conclusion, that LVHR is a effective, suitable method for operative treatment of umbilical hernias greater than 4 cm and recidive ones.
