What Is a Hiatal Hernia?
The diaphragm is the muscle separating your chest from your abdomen. The esophagus passes through a small opening in this muscle before connecting to the stomach.
A hiatal hernia develops when:
- The stomach bulges through this opening
- The lower esophageal valve becomes weakened
- Stomach acid flows back into the esophagus
A hiatal hernia occurs when the upper portion of your stomach bulges through the muscle separating your diaphragm and your abdomen. A small hiatal hernia usually does not manifest symptoms, but a large one can cause your food and stomach acid to go back to your esophagus, leading to heartburn or chest pain.
When Is Hiatal Hernia Repair Recommended?
Surgery may be advised if:
- Medications no longer control reflux symptoms
- You have a large hiatal hernia
- You experience severe GERD complications
- You are undergoing bariatric surgery and require simultaneous repair

How the Procedure Works
Hiatal hernia repair is typically performed laparoscopically using minimally invasive techniques.
- Gently pulling the stomach back into the abdominal cavity
- Tightening or repairing the diaphragm opening
- Reconstructing or reinforcing the lower esophageal sphincter when necessary
Small abdominal incisions are used to insert a camera and surgical instruments. The surgeon views the internal area on a high-definition monitor for precision and safety.
