FAQ
What is an epigastric hernia?
An epigastric hernia occurs when fat or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the upper abdominal wall, between the belly button and chest.
Is surgery necessary for all epigastric hernias?
Surgery is usually recommended if the hernia causes pain, grows in size, or risks complications like strangulation.
What type of anesthesia is used during surgery?
Epigastric hernia surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, ensuring the patient is asleep and pain-free during the procedure.

Most patients recover within 2 to 4 weeks, although complete healing may take slightly longer depending on the individual and the surgical method used.
