Hiatal Hernia Surgery is a procedure to repair a hernia where part of the stomach bulges through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. This surgery is often performed to treat symptoms such as heartburn, chest pain, or difficulty swallowing caused by the hernia.

The most common technique for hiatal hernia repair is laparoscopic surgery, which offers smaller incisions, less pain, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. The surgeon repositions the stomach and repairs the opening in the diaphragm to prevent further herniation.

Postoperative care includes pain management, dietary modifications, and lifestyle changes to prevent recurrence. Patients are typically able to return to normal activities within a few weeks, depending on the extent of the surgery.

Hiatal hernia surgery effectively relieves symptoms of acid reflux, regurgitation, and chest discomfort, improving quality of life and preventing long-term complications.
