What Does Supraumbilical Hernia In A CT Scan Report Indicate?

I had an I.V. contrast CT Scan with barium last Thursday. Got results via email today stating a supraumbilical hernia and fatty atrophy of the pancreas along with renal cortical scarring in left kidney. I have no clue what these 3 things are and had no luck looking via Google.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Pancreatic atrophy and cortical scarring are non specific findings and does not require any further treatment.
umbilical hernia has to be corrected because it might lead to unwanted complications like obstruction.
Consult a general surgeon and he will direct you accordingly.
Wishing all the best
