ABSTRACT
This study included 30 patients presented with epigastric hernias of different sizes. Careful clinical examination and preoperative investigations were done to evaluate the general conditions of the patients and to treat any correctable medical disease. After assuring that there was no contraindication to surgery, the elective surgically correction of the hernia was done by a special technique in all patients using three-layer repair [vest-over pants repair, gel foam packing and prolene mesh [hernioplasty]. A follow up of the patients was done for one year. The results were very satisfactory with no recurrence
