What is a Hiatus Hernia?

Hiatus hernia is a condition where the stomach bulges upward through the diaphragm to the thorax. This most commonly affects the valve separating the stomach from the esophagus, commonly resulting in acid reflux and gastro esophageal reflux disease.

Hiatus hernia heartburn, chest pain, bloating, and dysphagia can be experienced.

Non-serious cases can manage through over the counter medicine and lifestyle alterations, but if symptoms are ongoing and severe, surgery may be needed to reduce complications and to reduce symptom severity.

Symptoms of Hiatal Hernia & Acid Reflux

Heartburn and Acid Reflux

This introduces patients to heartburn, acid reflux, and a sour taste in the mouth with some people complaining of a burning sensation in the chest and reflux after a meal or when lying down.

Chest Pain and Bloating

Hiatus hernia causes severe discomfort in the chest with bloating and a heavy feeling with pressure in the upper cells of the abdomen and chest.

Difficulty Swallowing

Blocked food in the esophagus and the feeling of food sticking in the chest caused by stomach displacement and acid reflux is reported by some patients.

Chronic Cough or Vomiting

In the worst cases, there is a chronic, persistent cough, nausea, vomiting, with discomfort in the chest when breathing, and when GERD syndrome is worsened, it needs treatment.

When Do You Need Hiatus Hernia Surgery?

Surgery is usually considered when hiatus hernia symptoms become severe, persistent, or difficult to manage with medications and lifestyle changes. Patients experiencing ongoing acid reflux, heartburn, chest discomfort, or difficulty swallowing despite treatment may benefit from surgical intervention.

Surgical treatment may also be recommended if complications such as inflammation of the esophagus, narrowing of the esophagus, bleeding, or significant stomach displacement occur. Early intervention can help prevent long-term damage and improve quality of life.

Modern laparoscopic and robotic hiatus hernia surgeries offer effective treatment with smaller incisions, reduced pain, faster recovery, and excellent long-term outcomes compared to traditional open surgical techniques.

Benefits of Laparoscopic & Robotic Hiatus Hernia Surgery

Small Incisions

In minimally invasive surgeries, small incisions are used, thus causing less scarring, less blood loss and decreased chances of infection.

Lesser Pain

There is usually less post-surgery pain for patients, since laparoscopic and robotic surgeries inflict minimal injury to tissues.

Faster Healing

Most people heal quickly and go back to their regular routines early on account of faster healing and shorter hospital stay.

Long-term Relief

Modern laparoscopic and robotic procedures ensure that patients get adequate long-term relief from their acid reflux problems.

Hiatus Hernia Surgery Procedure

General anesthesia is administered before the operation.

Small cuts are created in the abdominal region.

Instruments for laparoscopy or robotics are introduced.

The displaced stomach is repositioned.

The defect in the diaphragm is closed.

Fundoplication can be done to prevent acid reflux.

The cuts are stitched, and the patient is observed.

Recovery After Hiatus Hernia Surgery

Most patients are released after 1-2 days following the procedure
Pain and soreness of the throat will gradually improve
A soft diet is recommended to be consumed initially
It is necessary to avoid physical exertion in the early period
Most patients can resume their normal activities after 1-2 weeks
Regular follow-ups help check the recovery progress

Risks of Untreated Hiatus Hernia

Acid reflux and heartburn issues
Esophageal damage from chronic GERD
Trouble swallowing and pain in the chest
Potential for ulcers, esophagitis or even bleeding
A hiatal hernia can grow slowly over time
Complications could need urgent care

FAQs

FAQs About Hiatus Hernia Surgery in Gurgaon

Get answers to common questions about hiatus hernia surgery, GERD treatment, fundoplication, recovery, safety, and treatment costs.

A hiatus hernia occurs when part of the stomach bulges through the diaphragm into the chest. It is relatively common and can interfere with normal valve functioning, making reflux occur more easily. Common symptoms include heartburn, a burning sensation in the chest, and various types of abdominal discomfort, including a sense of fullness and irritation.

Surgery is usually only necessary for hiatal hernias when the symptoms become very severe, are frequent despite medical and lifestyle management, or if the patient develops chronic GERD and its complications.

Fundoplication surgery is designed to reduce gastroesophageal reflux (GER) by constructing a collar of the upper portion of the stomach wrapped around the lower esophagus.

Yes, laparoscopic surgery for hiatus hernia repair is considered a safe and effective procedure. Traditionally, the surgical repair of a hiatus hernia has been an open procedure. Scarring tends to be much smaller, postsurgical pain is significantly less, and a quicker return to normal levels of activity is noted when compared to open repair.

Surgical repair of a hiatus hernia, performed either laparoscopically or via robotic assistance, tends to have a recovery time of around 1-2 weeks where patients are noted to have significant improvement in symptoms. However, a full recovery from the surgery, in addition to the necessary lifestyle and dietary alterations, can take quite a bit longer and is highly variable from patient to patient and surgeon to surgeon.

For many patients, surgery provides permanent relief and has the positive effect of correcting the anatomy of the hiatal hernia and reducing the amount of stomach acid that refluxes into the esophagus. As with all medical procedures, the success and outcomes of this procedure vary and depend on how well the control of reflux is managed post-operatively.

In some of the particularly complicated cases, robotic repair provides some advantages, given the better control, stronger visualization, and more mobility the surgeon has with the robotic approach, allowing for better accuracy of the repairs at the hiatal region.

There is no way to provide a single value to the cost of hiatal hernia repair surgery in Gurgaon, as this cost depends on many variables, including the expense of the medical facility, the experience level of the surgeon, the type of surgery that is performed, how complicated the hernia is, and any comorbidities that are present in the patient.
