title: Repair of mild umbilical hernia.
abstract: A mild, persistent umbilical hernia that does not cause any functional problem is often ignored. The authors have devised a new technique to treat the mild, protrusive deformity of the umbilicus without associated complications. In this report, the new operative procedure is introduced. The authors have treated 72 patients with this method and have obtained good results.
