Dr. Kishan A V – Specialist in Laparoscopic Repair of Hiatal Hernia, Bengaluru

What is Laparoscopic Repair of Hiatal Hernia?

Laparoscopic Repair of Hiatal Hernia is a minimally invasive surgery performed to treat hiatal hernias, a condition where part of the stomach pushes upward through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. This can cause symptoms such as acid reflux, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, and chronic heartburn. The laparoscopic approach provides an effective and safe solution for long-term relief.

How is the Procedure Performed?

The surgeon makes a few small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope to clearly view the hernia. The stomach is gently repositioned back into the abdominal cavity, and the opening in the diaphragm (hiatus) is tightened. In some cases, surgical mesh may be used to reinforce the repair, and a procedure called fundoplication is performed to prevent acid reflux. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and most patients are discharged within a day or two.

Who Should Opt for Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Repair?

Patients with persistent symptoms such as severe acid reflux, difficulty swallowing, regurgitation, or those not responding to medications should consider this surgery. It is especially recommended for individuals with large hiatal hernias causing significant discomfort or complications.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Repair

• Relief from chronic acid reflux and heartburn.
• Minimally invasive approach with small scars.
• Faster recovery compared to open surgery.
• Reduced risk of recurrence and complications.

Why Choose Laparoscopic Over Open Surgery?

Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair offers faster recovery, minimal pain, and smaller incisions compared to open surgery. It ensures long-lasting relief from reflux symptoms and helps patients return to normal life quickly with fewer post-operative complications.
