In a hiatus hernia, part of the stomach pushes into the
chest cavity. It enters via an opening where the food tube (esophagus) passes
on its way to the stomach. A hiatus hernia occurs when the upper part
of your stomach bulges through the large muscle separating your abdomen and
chest (diaphragm). Your diaphragm has a small opening (hiatus) through which
your food tube (esophagus) passes before connecting to your stomach.
Symptoms of Hiatus
Hernia:
• Heartburn
• Regurgitation of food or
liquids into the mouth
• Backflow of stomach acid
into the esophagus (acid reflux)
• Difficulty swallowing
• Chest or abdominal pain
• Shortness of breath
• Vomiting of blood or
passing of black stools, which may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding
Test to Identify Hiatus

Treatment
of Hiatus Hernia:-
(This is the view of Hiatus Hernia Surgery)
Surgery to repair a hiatus hernia may involve
pulling your stomach down into your abdomen and making the opening in your
diaphragm smaller, reconstructing an esophageal sphincter, or removing the
hernia sac.
Or your Hernia surgeon may insert a tiny camera
and special surgical tools through several small incisions in your abdomen. The
operation is then performed while your surgeon views images from inside your
body that is displayed on a video monitor (laparoscopic surgery).
The treatment of all hernias is surgical repair
which can be open or laparoscopic. Nowadays, laparoscopic repair is preferred in
which a large mesh is placed within the abdomen which seals the defect and
prevents the hernia from forming again.
