My father was diagnosed with an umbilical hernia at Apollo Hospital Nellore and the laparoscopic surgeon recommended surgery, saying medicines won't help. His abdomen has been slightly bigger for the past year with swelling at the umbilical area. Just wanted to check if surgery is really the only option or if tablets can cure it. Also, which is better open surgery or laparoscopic? And is there a risk of infection if we go with mesh repair?

Surgery is important in this case. Take care.
