| Summary: | Congenital subcostal hernias are a very rare type of flank hernia. They are typically asymptomatic but are more difficult to fix as the child grows, warranting early repair. They are typically found in the setting of multiple congenital anomalies.

We will report the background and outcome of primary repair in such a hernia. |
