Hiatus Hernia

  • Home
  • Hiatus Hernia

Normally the food pipe (oesophagus) passes from the chest into the abdomen to join the stomach, through a hole in the diaphragm, which is known as the HIATUS. The diaphragm is a muscular sheet separating the chest and the abdomen .When the part of the upper portion of the stomach protrudes via the HIATUS into the chest, it is known as a HIATUS HERNIA.

Causes Of Hiatus Hernia

Although the exact cause of hiatus hernia is unknown, pressure on the abdomen or aging-related weakness of the diaphragm may be the cause. Though it can happen to anybody, hiatus hernia is more likely in those who are: older than 50,overweight,pregnant

Types

There are two types of hiatus hernia- SLIDING and ROLLING HIATUS HERNIA.

Treatment

Patients may present with retrosternal pain and small hernias may be managed conservatively and bigger and symptomatic hernia may need surgery-LAPAROSCOPIC REPAIR OF THE HIATUS HERNIA with FUNDOPLICATION.

Laparoscopic Surgery For Hiatus Hernia

With the use of the laparoscope, the doctor will reposition the part of the stomach inside the proper area of the abdomen and the opening in the diaphragm-HIATUS is narrowed and the upper part of the stomach is wrapped around the lower part of the oesophagus to prevent migration and , creating a tighter sphincter to prevent reflux.

sphincter is divided partially lowering the resting anal tone resulting in the healing of the fissure.
