Epigastric hernia repair is a surgical procedure for the removal of an epigastric hernia that has been detected by a physician.
Repairing an epigastric hernia is an outpatient surgery and is one of the safest
hernia repair techniques.
Given their typical small size of the defect (usually less than 2 cm) , they can be fixed through a small incision often without the use of synthetic mesh. The surgery is outpatient and can be performed in a surgery center.
