Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Really interesting topic. you had an umblical hernia from the child hood, that usually is. It should be closed naturally by the time you are 2 or 3. It didn't close, so surgery became necesory.
The hernia is a result of some part of the intestine, or mesentry into the naval. So for repair, naval is to be cut, and the part is pushed inside, and the abdominal wall is sutured if necesory with some support of mesh.
So when there is suturing the naval part of the abdominal wall is cut, so lost.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
