Hiatus Hernia Treatment in Bangalore: Professional Care at AV Hospital

A hiatus hernia occurs when a portion of the stomach pushes its way through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. Symptoms may involve acid reflux, heartburn, chest pain, and swallowing eggs.

Accurate diagnosis of a hiatus hernia must be made with all attention to detail, and with a thorough history and examination.

Early diagnosis is crucial since it helps in preventing complications and allowing better treatment outcomes.

3. Minimally Invasive Surgery Options

Surgery is often required in these cases, but most likely laser surgery will be done at AV Hospital. These minimally invasive techniques use small incisions, thus resulting in less postoperative pain, shorter length of stay, and quicker recovery than conventional open surgery. Therefore, laparoscopic surgery minimizes the chances of infection and scarring.

Hiatus Hernia Treatments

1. Conservative Management (Non-Surgical Treatment)

Treatment measures for mild hiatus hernias are generally lifestyle interventions, medication, and dietary modifications, which may include:

Antacids or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to control acid reflux.

Treatment with H-2 blockers decreases the acid that is secreted by the stomach.

Lifestyle changes include eating smaller meals and refraining from heavy meals and elevating the head of the bed to avoid the effects of acid reflux.

Weight reduction and quitting smoking as these two factors can ease the symptomatology and aggravate the hiatus hernia.

2. Surgical Treatment (Laparoscopic Fundoplication)

If these conservative measures are ineffective or if severe symptoms such as regurgitation, chest pain, or difficulty swallowing arise, surgery may be required. The most commonly performed surgery for hiatus hernia is laparoscopic fundoplication. During this procedure:

The herniated part of the stomach is pulled back into the abdominal cavity.

The diaphragm is tightened to prevent further herniation.

The upper part of the stomach is wrapped around the lower esophagus to prevent acid reflux.

3. Advantages of LAPAROSCOPIC SURGARY

Small incisions lead to minimal scarring.

Less post-operative pain and quicker recovery.

Shorter hospitalization period: one to two days.

Reduced risk for infection and complications.
