Hiatal hernia

A hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair offers a modern, minimally invasive solution with faster healing, less pain, and lasting relief from acid reflux and discomfort.

Description

Hiatal hernias develop when the diaphragm weakens, allowing the stomach to move into the chest cavity through the esophageal opening. Small hernias may not cause symptoms, but larger ones often lead to heartburn, regurgitation, and even breathing difficulties.

Laparoscopic surgery uses tiny incisions to reposition the stomach, tighten the diaphragm opening, and, if necessary, perform fundoplication to prevent reflux. It’s a highly effective method with reduced downtime and fewer complications.
