The nine-region abdominal layout places the epigastric region at the top middle. Directly beneath it, in the middle row, is the umbilical region, centered around the navel. The pubic (hypogastric) region sits below the umbilical region in the lower middle. So the region that lies directly below the epigastric and above the pubic is the umbilical region. The other regions are in different positions: the left and right hypochondriac are top-left and top-right, and the epigastric region is the top middle itself.
