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.

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.
Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
Less postoperative pain
Faster discharge and recovery
Fewer complications
Long-term relief from acid reflux symptoms
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.
The procedure includes:
Anesthesia – General anesthesia is administered.
Port Access – 3–5 small incisions are made to insert the laparoscope and instruments.
Hernia Reduction – The stomach is moved back into the abdomen.
Hiatus Repair – The diaphragm opening is tightened.
Fundoplication – The upper stomach is wrapped around the esophagus.
Mesh Placement – A surgical mesh may be added for reinforcement (if needed).
Closure – Incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures.
The surgery typically lasts 60–90 minutes, and most patients return home within 1–2 days.
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.

Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Surgery is a minimally invasive procedure where surgeons use a laparoscope (tiny camera) and small incisions to repair the hernia and prevent acid reflux. It typically includes tightening the diaphragm opening and wrapping the stomach around the esophagus (fundoplication).
This surgery is recommended for individuals with severe acid reflux (GERD), large or paraesophageal hernias, difficulty swallowing, chest pain, or breathing problems due to the hernia.
The procedure usually takes around 60 to 90 minutes. Most patients are discharged within 1–2 days post-surgery.
Since it's a minimally invasive surgery, pain is significantly reduced compared to open surgery. Most patients experience mild discomfort, which can be managed with medication.
Recovery after Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Surgery typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. Patients can resume light activities within a week and return to full routine in 4–6 weeks.
Yes, a soft or liquid diet is recommended for the first few days to allow the esophagus to heal. Gradual reintroduction of solid foods is advised under medical supervision.
While the procedure is safe, potential risks include infection, difficulty swallowing, bloating, acid reflux recurrence, or mesh-related complications (rare).
Yes, most insurance plans cover Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Surgery. MedEase provides complete insurance support and also offers no-cost EMI options.
Hernia recurrence is rare, especially if proper post-operative care is followed. MedEase surgeons use USFDA-approved mesh to reduce the chances of recurrence.
