Treatment and Management
The selection of hiatal hernia treatments depends heavily on the severity of the symptoms and the type of hernia present. For many, the goal is to manage the acid reflux and prevent inflammation. This often begins with a multi-step conservative approach.
At Liv Hospital, we view these lifestyle adjustments as the essential foundation of care, ensuring that even without surgery, your esophagus is protected from the long term effects of acid exposure.
When conservative methods are insufficient, hiatal hernia surgery becomes a necessary clinical intervention. The primary goal of surgery is to pull the stomach back into the abdomen and make the opening in the diaphragm smaller.
In some cases, the surgeon will also reinforce the valve between the esophagus and stomach. Modern techniques have transformed this from a major open operation into a refined, minimally invasive procedure. Surgery is typically indicated for patients with large hernias, those at risk for strangulation, or those whose reflux is not controlled by other means.
The standard surgical approach at Liv Hospital is laparoscopic repair. This “keyhole” surgery involves making several tiny incisions in the abdomen rather than one large one.
By utilizing this advanced technology, we can achieve microscopic precision in the repair, ensuring that the stomach remains in its proper place while preserving the patient’s physical integrity and minimizing scarring.
A common procedural addition to hernia repair is the Nissen fundoplication. This is a “wrap” technique used to cure chronic acid reflux.
This mechanical reinforcement prevents acid from splashing upward, even if the patient is lying down. It is one of the most successful clinical procedures for long term reflux control, often eliminating the need for daily medication.
In some clinical cases, the diaphragm tissue may be too weak or thin to hold sutures alone. To prevent the hernia from recurring, a surgical mesh may be used.
Specialists at Liv Hospital evaluate each patient’s tissue quality to determine if mesh is indicated, providing a personalized surgical plan that maximizes the longevity of the repair.
For patients who do not want a traditional wrap, the LINX system is a high-tech alternative.
This procedure is minimally invasive and does not involve altering the stomach’s anatomy as much as a fundoplication. At Liv Hospital, we offer these modern technological solutions for patients looking for the latest advancements in gastrointestinal care.
Treating a paraesophageal hernia requires a different clinical strategy than the sliding type. Because these hernias can “lock” in place and cut off blood flow, the surgical approach is often more comprehensive.
The technical expertise required for these complex cases is a hallmark of the surgical team at Liv Hospital, where we prioritize the safety and structural stability of your digestive organs.
Your safety during surgery is maintained through rigorous technological and clinical protocols.
These international safety standards are non-negotiable, providing patients with the peace of mind that their treatment is backed by the most advanced fail-safes in the global medical market.
The success of a hiatal repair depends heavily on the skill of the surgical team. If the repair is too loose, the hernia will return; if it is too tight, swallowing becomes difficult. At Liv Hospital, our surgeons are international experts in minimally invasive abdominal surgery. We are dedicated to providing a safe, efficient, and compassionate treatment experience.
