Large epigastric hernia : an unusual presentation

Abstract EN

We presented here a 65years old lady with an unusual presentation of a large epigastria hernia of twenty years duration.

The swelling was occupying the entire right hypochondria region.

The diagnosis was made on r^E^a-operative identification of the defect in the linea alba which sutured after removal of the hernial sac and its contents .The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient remained with no complications or recurrence for more than two years follow up.
