Dear Parul Mishra You did not speak anything about the size of your hiatal hernia or type of hiatal hernia. There are two main types of hiatal hernias: 1.Sliding and 2.Paraesophageal In a sliding hiatal hernia, the stomach and the portion of the esophagus that joins the stomach slide up into the chest through the hiatus. This type of hiatus hernia is the more common type of hernia. The second type of hiatus hernia called as paraesophageal hiatus hernia is less common, but is more cause for concern. The esophagus and stomach stay in their normal locations, but part of the stomach fundus or body squeezes through the hiatus defect of diaphragm, landing it next to the esophagus. The danger is that the stomach can become strangled, or have its blood supply shut off leading to strangulation. If the hiatal hernia is in danger of becoming constricted or strangulated so that the blood supply is cut off, laparoscopic surgery for the repair of hiatus hernia may be needed to reduce the hernia, meaning put it back where it belongs. The surgery is called fundoplication. Laparoscopic fundoplication is ideal treatment. So please send your endoscopy report so that we can give you proper advice. |
