Summary
This study looks at two kinds of stitches used to repair small belly button hernias (defects 2 cm or smaller). About 900 adults having elective surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either absorbable or permanent stitches. The main goal is to see which type leads to fewer hernias coming back within two years, while also checking for infections and quality of life.
