Summary
This study compares two common surgical techniques for fixing umbilical hernias: onlay mesh and sublay mesh. Researchers want to see which method leads to fewer complications, less pain, and lower chance of the hernia coming back. The study involves 116 adults aged 18 to 90 with small or medium hernias who are scheduled for elective surgery.
