Irreducible hernias with omentum are usually operated by open method due to risk of complications; laparoscopy is less preferred if there's obstruction or dense adhesions.

I've had this small lump on my stomach for years now and I'm not sure what to do about it. Should I see a skin specialist or just go to my general physician first? Could it be something that needs surgery or is there another way to remove it? It doesn't hurt but I'm starting to get concerned since it's been there so long.
