GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An epigastric hernia occurs when a weakened area in the abdominal wall allows a bit of fat to push through. Epigastric hernias are typically small. They occur in the middle of the belly, in the area between the belly button and the breastbone. Some patients develop more than one epigastric hernia at a time.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your surgeon will make a cut over the hernia and free up the ‘hernial sac’. If only fat is pushing through, your surgeon will either remove the fat or push it back. If contents of your abdomen are also pushing through, they will place the contents back inside your abdomen.
