A hiatus hernia may require surgery. Surgery is generally reserved for emergency situations and for people who aren’t helped by medications to relieve heartburn and acid reflux. Hiatus hernia repair surgery is often combined with surgery for gastroesophageal reflux disease.
An operation for a hiatus hernia may involve pulling your stomach down into your abdomen and making the opening in your diaphragm smaller, reconstructing a weak esophageal sphincter, or removing the hernia sac. In some cases, this is done using a single incision in your chest wall (thoracotomy) or abdomen (laparotomy). In other cases, your surgeon may insert a tiny camera and special surgical tools through several small incisions in your abdomen. The operation is then performed while your surgeon views images from inside your body that are displayed on a video monitor (laparoscopic surgery).
This is an operative procedure using the keyhole (laparoscopic) method to fix reflux problems. During fundoplication, the top part of your stomach — called the fundus — is folded and sewn around the lower oesophageal sphincter, a muscular valve at the bottom of your oesophagus. If you have a hiatus hernia, it can be repaired at the same time. Your surgeon may also tighten the hiatus, the opening in your diaphragm through which the esophagus passes.
