Objective  To explore the effectiveness of preperitoneal herniorrhaphy with Ultrapro Plug (UPP) mesh for umbilical hernia repair in adults. Methods  Between September 2011 and June 2015, 71 patients with umbilical hernia underwent preperitoneal herniorrhaphy with UPP mesh. There were 26 males and 45 females, aged 19-92 years (mean, 54.3 years). The disease duration was 45 days to 30 years (median, 18 months). Umbilical hernia was diagnosed through physical examination, ultrasound, and other relevant auxiliary examination. According to American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, 12 cases were rated as grade Ⅰ, 34 cases as grade Ⅱ, 21 cases as grade Ⅲ, and 4 cases as grade Ⅳ. The operation time, postoperative hospitalization time, complication, and recurrence were recorded. Results  The diameter of hernia ring ranged 0.5-3.0 cm (mean, 1.8 cm). There was no vessel or intestine injury. The operation time was 12-35 minutes (mean, 22.4 minutes); postoperative hospitalization time was 12-48 hours (mean, 16.3 hours). Fat liquefaction of incision occurred in 2 cases, and primary healing of incision was obtained in the other cases. Sixty-nine patients were followed up 8-51 months (median, 28 months). Hernia recurrence and patch infection occurred in 1 case respectively during follow-up. No postoperative foreign body sensation and chronic pain occurred. Conclusion  Repairing umbilical hernia in adults with UPP mesh should be safe and reliable, because it has the advantages of short operation time, short hospital stay, less complication, and lower incidence of recurrence.
