    Hernia Repair -abdominal and umbilical

    I’ve reached out to my pediatric surgery colleagues for more information. .
    My inclination is to perform primary repairs on all of them (suture, no mesh). I would do them open through the minimum number of incisions as any laparoscopic procedure would require 3 incisions anyway.
    I would place mesh only after (if) they recur.
