    Third Recurrence of Umbilical Hernia

    Dr. Towfigh,

    Thank you so much for your reply. I do think I may be genetically predisposed, my father also had an umbilical hernia, and I have polycystic kidneys, which I have been told can cause umbilical hernias. I just do not understand why it keeps coming back.
    I am in New Jersey.
    Do you recommend a third repair?

    Again, thank you so very much for your response.
