What Causes Hernia In Upper Stomach?
Within an hour after my auto accident I was diagnosed by CT that I had a hernia in my upper stomach where my surgery (cabg) was 5 months prior. No pain or bulge prior to accident. Is this a result of surgery, the accident or both. I don’t understand how a car accident can cause a hernia.

With a history of cabg at the site where u r now having hernia, it seems as if Due to accident the suture line might got ruptures / weakens that may lead to hernia, still proper evaluation clinically is required to label it
