Diaphragmatic hernias are divided into several main types:
Age, especially advanced age, is often associated with the development of hiatal hernia, as are obesity and smoking.
Abdominal hypertension, whether due to pregnancy, chronic pathology or risk factors such as constipation, is a factor that favors the development of hiatal hernia.
In some cases, congenital weakness of the diaphragmatic tissue may be to blame.
Many people with a hiatal hernia have no symptoms.
The symptoms of hiatal hernia are varied and may include:
Some people with hiatal hernia may also experience chronic coughing and frequent belching.
These symptoms may vary from person to person, depending on the size of the hernia and the presence of complications. A medical diagnosis is essential to confirm the presence of a hiatal hernia and to determine the appropriate treatment.
Although rare, a hiatal hernia can develop into a complication requiring emergency surgery: incarceration of abdominal organs in the chest (the stomach becomes wedged in the opening of the diaphragm) and strangulation (the blood supply to the herniated part of the stomach is cut off).
In Turkey, the diagnosis of hiatal hernia is based on several complementary tests:
In addition to confirming the diagnosis of hiatal hernia, these tests help determine the severity of the lesion and identify any comorbidities.
Diagnosis is essential in order to tailor treatment to the symptoms and severity of the condition.
Sliding hiatal hernias are mainly treated medically. If there is associated gastroesophageal reflux, medications to reduce gastric acidity are prescribed.
However, paraesophageal hiatal hernias are usually treated surgically. This is indicated in young patients or those with disabling symptoms. The aim is to correct the anatomical anomaly by returning the stomach to its normal position, closing the hiatus and reinforcing the anti-reflux mechanism with a fundoplication.
This procedure is most often performed laparoscopically, but in certain cases a laparotomy may be necessary.
Before your hiatal hernia surgery, it's important to fast from midnight the night before. This means that you should not eat or drink after this time.
Don't forget to tell your healthcare team about all the medicines you are taking, including those you can buy without a prescription. Some treatments may need to be adjusted or temporarily stopped before surgery.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. It involves strengthening the area of your esophagus that does not close properly to prevent acid reflux from your stomach. The surgeon will perform a fundoplication, which is the creation of a sleeve around the esophagus using part of your stomach to protect it.
You will be taken to the recovery room, where you will be closely monitored for about 2 hours. Medical devices, such as drains or a nasogastric tube, may be placed to help you recover.
Once you are stable, you will be taken to your room. You will be allowed to stand up gradually and will be encouraged to drink.
Medication will be available for pain, which is usually well controlled.
For optimal healing after hiatal hernia surgery, we recommend a mixed diet for the first two weeks. You can then gradually return to a normal diet.
