Hiatal hernia surgery is used to address a problem in which a piece of the stomach slides upward into the chest via the diaphragm opening (hiatus), and it is advised when symptoms worsen or complications arise. In addition to treating complications like persistent oesophagitis, bleeding or ulcers, Barrett's oesophagus in certain cases, and major issues like obstruction or gastric volvulus, the procedure is intended to treat hiatal hernia-related severe GERD (acid reflux), chronic heartburn that cannot be controlled with medication, swallowing difficulties caused by hernia-related blockage, and paraesophageal hernia with a risk of strangulation.

You should see a doctor if you have severe or persistent reflux/heartburn, a sour taste in your mouth with regurgitation, chest pain (after ruling out heart disease), food getting stuck or difficulty swallowing, breathlessness due to a large hernia, or vomiting and upper abdominal fullness, as well as complications such as bleeding (black stools), severe pain, or unexpected vomiting. If you experience sudden, severe upper stomach or chest discomfort, persistent vomiting, or difficulty passing food, an emergency evaluation is necessary.

Preparation includes surgical examination and clinical consultation, as well as investigations such as upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, barium swallow study, oesophageal manometry (if appropriate), 24-hour pH monitoring (for GERD evaluation), and a CT scan for big or severe hernias. CBC, LFT, RFT, ECG, and chest X-ray are examples of routine testing.

The most common method for repairing a hiatal hernia is laparoscopic under general anaesthesia. During this procedure, the surgeon makes tiny abdominal incisions, pulls the stomach back into its normal position, and uses sutures to tighten the diaphragm opening (hiatus). In certain situations, mesh reinforcement is added, and fundoplication (anti-reflux wrap) is often used to prevent GERD..

Depending on the hernia's size and complexity, whether mesh reinforcement is needed, and whether fundoplication is also done in addition to the repair, the procedure typically takes 1.5 to 3 hours.

Potential complications include:

Infection and bleeding
Swallowing difficulties (temporary dysphagia)
Damage to the stomach, spleen, or oesophagus (rare)
Gas-bloat syndrome (difficulty belching)
Hernia recurrence (particularly large hernias)
Complications associated to mesh (rare)
Risks associated with anaesthesia
Rarely, deep vein thrombosis

Long-term relief from GERD symptoms, prevention of major complications like hernia obstruction and strangulation, improved swallowing and digestion, a decreased need for long-term acid-suppressive medications, and an overall improvement in sleep quality and quality of life are just a few advantages of hiatal hernia repair.

After a one to three-day hospital stay, pain medication, and early ambulation, recovery usually entails a planned dietary transition from liquids to soft foods and a gradual return to a normal diet over a period of two to six weeks. While wound healing and symptom monitoring are monitored on a regular basis, patients are encouraged to refrain from heavy lifting for four to six weeks.

Hiatal hernia repair has a high success rate; in professional laparoscopic surgical centres, 85–95% of patients experience symptom relief. However, if lifestyle changes are not made, certain big or complicated paraesophageal hernias may reoccur.
