An observational study in Umbilical Hernia and Cholelithiasis, sponsored by Konya Meram State Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-01-27.

Researchers aim to determine the exact prevalence and risk factors for the association of gallstones and umbilical hernia. Umbilical hernia is defined according to the European Hernia Society Classification for primary and incisional abdominal wall hernias as hernias occurring from 3 cm above to 3 cm below the umbilicus. The main outcome measures are the presence of gallstones in patients presenting with umbilical hernia and the presence of umbilical hernia in patients diagnosed with gallstones. Patients with umbilical hernia are examined with biliary ultrasound, while patients with cholelithiasis are evaluated for umbilical hernia by physical examination and ultrasound. Factors such as age, gender, body mass index (BMI), family history, comorbidities, tobacco use, parity, and history of multiple pregnancy are analyzed as potential risk factors.
Umbilical hernia and cholelithiasis are quite common in general surgical practice. The coexistence of cholelithiasis and umbilical hernia has been previously reported in the literature. However, most of the publications on this subject are retrospective series, and the prevalence of cholelithiasis in patients with umbilical hernia and the risk factors of umbilical hernia in patients with cholelithiasis have not been investigated prospectively to date. This study aims to fill this gap by providing prospective data on the prevalence and risk factors associated with the coexistence of these conditions.

Exclusion Criteria:
It is determined whether there is an umbilical hernias in patients with cholelithiasis
Diagnostic Test: Umbilical region superficial tissue ultrasound
It is determined whether patients with umbilical hernia have cholelithiasis or not.
Diagnostic Test: Hepatobiliary ultrasound
The presence of cholelithiasis in patients with umbilical hernia is detected by hepatobiliary ultrasound
The presence of umbilical hernia in patients with cholelithiasis is detected by ultrasound of the superficial tissue of the umbilical region.
Presence of cholelithiasis in umbilical hernia patients
In umbilical hernia patients, the presence of cholelithiasis is determined by hepatobiliary ultrasound.
Time frame: 2 days
Presence of umbilical hernia in cholelithiasis patients
In patients with cholelithiasis, the presence of umbilical hernias is determined by superficial tissue ultrasound of the umbilical region.
Time frame: 2 days
Body mass index
Body mass index is calculated by dividing kilograms by height squared (kilograms / height squared).
Time frame: 2 days
The female-male ratio
The female-male ratio is found by the number of females divided by the number of males (female/male ratio).
Time frame: 2 days
Concomitant diseases ratio
It is found by dividing the number of patients with comorbidities by the total number of patients
Time frame: 2 days
