Why It Matters
Lasting GERD Relief
Surgical repair of the hiatal hernia combined with fundoplication provides long-term resolution of acid reflux, often eliminating the need for daily medications.
Return Stomach to Normal Position
Surgery repositions the stomach below the diaphragm and reinforces the lower esophageal sphincter, restoring normal anatomy and function.
Minimally Invasive Recovery
Laparoscopic approach means small incisions, less pain, and most patients return to normal activities within 2–3 weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hiatal hernia?
A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm into the chest. This disrupts the normal barrier function, allowing acid reflux and GERD symptoms.
When should I consider surgery for a hiatal hernia?
Surgery is considered when medications fail to control GERD symptoms, or when you prefer not to take daily acid-suppressing drugs long-term.
What is a Nissen fundoplication?
It's a procedure where the upper part of the stomach (fundus) is wrapped around the lower esophageal sphincter to strengthen the valve and prevent acid reflux.
Will I need to take acid reflux medication after surgery?
Most patients significantly reduce or eliminate GERD medications after successful surgery, though some may need occasional antacids.
