Dear Md Naim You can come to World Laparoscopy Hospital with all your report and see Dr. R.K. Mishra. Laparoscopic repair is good option for hiatus hernia. Fundoplication may be the standard surgical treatment for small hiatus hernia. The purpose of the surgical treatment is to reduce heartburn caused by acid reflux disease. During the surgery, the upper part of the stomach is mobilised, wrapped and sutured round the lower part of the esophagus. This allows the lower area of the esophagus to pass through a little tunnel made from the stomach muscle. This will help prevent acid reflux disease, and strengthen the valve between your esophagus and stomach, which stops acid from copying in to the esophagus as quickly. A surgeon may recommend fundoplication whenever a patient has among the following symptoms: Severe heartburn / acid reflux disease Severe inflammation of the esophagus that has been brought on by the backflow of stomach contents (erosive esophagitis) There is a narrowing of the esophagus because its been damaged by acid reflux disease (esophageal stricture) A hernia where the upper part of the stomach slides up through the opening in the diaphragm and drop back down (para-esophageal hernia) Chronic inflammation in the lungs, such as pneumonia, brought on by inhaling gastric fluids which have backed up into the throat Laparoscopic fundoplication is frequently performed. This surgery involves utilizing a lighted tube that is inserted via a small incision within the abdomen. Recovery time is only a few days within the hospital. Open fundoplication takes a larger incision in the abdomen or the chest. The time to recover with this procedure is more than that for that laparoscopic surgery, requiring per week or longer remain in a healthcare facility. With regards J.S Chowhan |

I am not a doctor, so ehiter way you will want to talk to them, but this is what I have to say as a long time sufferer of Acid Reflux (G.E.R.D.)! Three part answer information, what not to do, and what to do!INFORMATION!!!!!!I have a very severe case of Acid Reflux (G.E.R.D.). I have had to go to the hospital for some of the heartburn that I have had because the pain can become overwhelming or your breathing can be effected. It can be caused by Smoking, Drinking Beverages with caffeine (My case), Drinking Beverages with Alcohol, or can be HeritataryThe good thing about G.E.R.D. is that it can be a temporary thing and can be cured. It is never a permit thing even if you end up with it for the rest of your life it has the ability to be cured.WHAT NOT TO DO!!!!!!!!In most cases, stress is a factor to the reflux if you watch what you eat and reduce some of the stress it will help. If you watch what you eat for about a week you should find relief, if you do not then that is when you definitely what to listen to the doctor. Things to watch for are as follows:Fatty FoodsCitrus FoodsFoods That Contain GreaseFried FoodsChocolateCaffeineSmokingAlcoholTomato Based ProductsWHAT TO DO!!!!The two foods that I recommend is Black strap Molasses and Raw honey. The apple is better for night time reflux while these will work for just about all of it. What you will do is take about a tsp. of whatever one you chose. Molasses being the better because of strength and nutrition, but must be use to the taste. What the substance will do is stick to the sides of the esophagus and do two things, one is heal and the other is protect.On the healing end, both substances have a healing property in them, and as they sit on the walls of the esophagus they will heal it. This is also helpful if you have a sore throat in the morning from refluxing.On the protection end, both substances are high in sugar and when acid that is refluxed comes up to that the sugar will neutralize it and it will not longer be a problem at that point. I would also look to putting Cinnamon in you diet, it has been know to help with digestion and will help you reduce the amount of acid needed to brake down food, therefore causing you to reflux less. |
