There is a lack of consensus about the surgical management of @entity14147 . The aim of this study is to analyze the medium-term results of 934 umbilical hernia repairs. In this study, 934 @entity1 with an umbilical hernia underwent surgery between 2004 and 2010, 599 (64.1%) of which were evaluated at least one year after the surgery. Complications, recurrence, and the reoperation rate were analyzed. Complications were observed in 5.7 per cent of the @entity1 . With a mean follow-up time of 35.5 months, recurrence and reoperation rates were 3.8 per cent and 4.7 per cent, respectively. A higher percentage of female @entity1 (60.9 % vs 29 %, P = 0.001) and a longer follow-up time (47.4 vs 35 months, P = 0.037) were observed in @entity1 who developed a recurrence. No significant differences were observed between complications and the reoperation rate in @entity1 who underwent Ventralex(  ) preperitoneal mesh reinforcement and suture repair; however, a trend toward a higher recurrence rate was observed in @entity1 with suture repair (6.5 % vs 3.2 %, P = 0.082). Suture repair had lower recurrence and reoperation rates in @entity1 with @entity14147 than 1 cm. Suture repair is an appropriate procedure for small @entity14147 ; however, for larger @entity14147 , mesh reinforcement should be considered.
