Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Surgery at MedEase

Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Surgery is a highly effective, minimally invasive solution for treating hiatal hernias and associated acid reflux (GERD). A hiatal hernia occurs when a part of the stomach pushes upward through the diaphragm into the chest cavity, leading to symptoms like acid reflux, heartburn, chest discomfort, bloating, and trouble swallowing.

At MedEase, we specialize in Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Surgery, offering advanced care with minimal pain, fast recovery, and long-lasting results. Our procedures are performed using USFDA-approved laparoscopic technology by expert surgeons in top-rated hospitals across India.

What is Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Surgery?

Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Surgery involves repairing the weakened diaphragm opening (hiatus) through 3–5 small incisions using a laparoscope—a camera-guided surgical instrument. The herniated stomach is repositioned, and the hiatus is tightened. In most cases, a fundoplication is also done, where the upper part of the stomach is wrapped around the esophagus to stop acid reflux.

Key Benefits of the Laparoscopic Approach:

  • Smaller incisions and minimal scarring

  • Less postoperative pain

  • Faster discharge and recovery

  • Fewer complications

  • Long-term relief from acid reflux symptoms

When is Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Surgery Needed?

  1. Your doctor may recommend Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Surgery if you experience:

    • Severe or persistent acid reflux (GERD)

    • Large or paraesophageal hernias

    • Frequent chest pain unrelated to the heart

    • Difficulty swallowing or food getting stuck

    • Chronic bloating or shortness of breath

    • Hernias unresponsive to medication or lifestyle changes

    Untreated hernias can lead to ulcers, bleeding, or even strangulation, making timely surgical intervention critical.

How is Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Surgery Performed?

  • The procedure includes:

    1. Anesthesia – General anesthesia is administered.

    2. Port Access – 3–5 small incisions are made to insert the laparoscope and instruments.

    3. Hernia Reduction – The stomach is moved back into the abdomen.

    4. Hiatus Repair – The diaphragm opening is tightened.

    5. Fundoplication – The upper stomach is wrapped around the esophagus.

    6. Mesh Placement – A surgical mesh may be added for reinforcement (if needed).

    7. Closure – Incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures.

    The surgery typically lasts 60–90 minutes, and most patients return home within 1–2 days.

Recovery After Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Surgery

  1. Recovery is smooth and relatively quick:

    • Day 1–2: Discharge from hospital

    • Week 1: Resume light household activities

    • Week 2–3: Return to office or non-strenuous work

    • Week 4–6: Resume physical exercise and heavy lifting

    A soft or liquid diet is advised for the first week. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and heavy exertion to support healing.
