An umbilical hernia may be noticed as a protrusion in the area surrounding the navel at the site of the umbilicus in a newborn baby. This is common during the initial routine well-baby checkups with a pediatrician in the first few months of a baby’s life. First-time (or inexperienced) parents may express significant concerns during these visits when they notice a protrusion in their baby’s belly button, as they are often unfamiliar with this phenomenon and tend to become anxious. Moreover, parents might be concerned about the possibility of their child experiencing severe complications due to an umbilical hernia, leading them to question whether there are any preventive measures they should undertake to mitigate these risks. This activity provides an overview of the pathophysiology, assessment, and treatment of umbilical hernias and emphasizes the collaborative efforts of the interprofessional team in caring for infants affected by this condition.
