  1. A WORLD-RENOWNED GENERAL EPIGASTRIC HERNIA SURGEON - HEALTHY LIFE BARIATRICS An epigastric hernia occurs when tissue pushes through the inner layers of the abdominal wall, causing a bulge or tear. The hernias can be present at birth (congenital) or acquired. The bulge is usually positioned between the belly button and the chest. www.healthylifebariatrics.com

  2. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF AN EPIGASTRIC HERNIA Epigastric hernias seem to come and go at will. This tendency to appear and disappear gives epigastric hernias their nickname: Reducible hernia. The bulge may not be noticeable unless you are having a bowel movement, crying, or engaging in an activity that puts pressure on the abdomen. www.healthylifebariatrics.com

  3. WHAT SYMPTOMS PRESENT WITH EPIGASTRIC HERNIAS Noticeable Bulge – Skin protrusion centers above or near the navel without groin/inguinal involvement. Often enlarges throughout days then reduces somewhat when lying recumbently overnight as gravitational forces temporarily lessen. Pain/Discomfort – Aching, heaviness, or perceived muscle strain. Typically exacerbates as hernias expand. Usually reduces with rest and recumbency. Pressure – Dull intra-abdominal heaviness, tightness, crammed feeling, or periumbilical pinching.

  4. WHEN SHOULD YOU SEE A DOCTOR FOR AN EPIGASTRIC HERNIA An epigastric hernia will not heal on its own. Only surgery can repair the condition. In children, surgery can be postponed until the child reaches an older age. For adults, it's common to be diagnosed with an epigastric hernia that originated earlier in life. The hernia may have been present for years without you being aware of it. For many, these hernias produce no symptoms until later in life.

  5. HOW IS EPIGASTRIC HERNIA SURGERY PERFORMED www.healthylifebariatrics.com Epigastric hernia surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The procedure can be performed on an inpatient or outpatient basis. Once the anesthesia has taken effect, small incisions are made on either side of the hernia treatment site. The hernia is repaired laparoscopically, which involves serpentine tools that allow Dr. Moeinolmolki to repair your hernia without opening your abdominal cavity.

  6. THANK YOU A hernia can cause complications over time. Instead of waiting, get an official diagnosis and find out if you are a viable candidate for hernia repair surgery. Call Healthy Life Bariatrics www.healthylifebariatrics.com
