Epigastric hernia

Epigastric hernia

 

Epigastric hernias occur in a part of the abdominal wall called the epigastrium. It lies between the navel and the rib cage. They ALWAYS occur in the midline – that is straight down the middle.

For further information on this type of hernia please see ‘Umbilical, peri – umbilical and supra-umbilical hernias’
