The following code creates R mediany variables (R is the number of regions), where each variable takes the median of the distribution of "y" excluding the value of region `r'.
levelsof region, local(reglist)
foreach r of local reglist {
egen me_y`r' = median(y) if region!=`r'
tempvar tmp
egen "`tmp'" = max(me_y `r')
replace me_y `r' = `tmp' if region==`r'
}
hope this helps.
