Types of hiatal hernia

Hiatal hernias are classified into several types, each with unique characteristics and implications for treatment. Understanding the type of hernia you have can help guide the most effective approach.

Hernia typeDescriptionCommon symptomsTypical treatment
Sliding herniaPortion of the stomach moves back and forth through the diaphragm's opening.Mild to moderate heartburn, acid reflux.Usually managed medically (lifestyle + medication).
Paraesophageal herniaPart of the stomach pushes upward beside the esophagus, sometimes rotating.Chest pain, difficulty swallowing, bloating.Surgical repair (often laparoscopic fundoplication).
Mixed herniaCombination of sliding and paraesophageal hernia features.Varies widely depending on hernia size.Treatment tailored to the patient; surgery common.

Common causes & risk factors

Hiatal hernias often result from increased abdominal pressure or diaphragm weakness. The most common causes include:

Many people with a hiatal hernia have no noticeable symptoms, which is why regular check-ups are important if you have risk factors.

Symptoms & complications of hiatal hernia

Hiatal hernias can vary in size and severity, meaning symptoms may differ from person to person. Recognizing the signs early can help you get timely treatment and prevent serious complications.

Common symptoms

Hiatal hernias often cause discomfort that affects daily life. Here are the most frequent symptoms patients experience:

Even mild or occasional symptoms can indicate a hiatal hernia. Early evaluation by a specialist is recommended.

Potential complications

While most hiatal hernias do not cause serious problems, some cases may require urgent attention:

Diagnosis of hiatal hernia in Turkey

Proper diagnosis is essential to determine the type, size, and severity of your hiatal hernia and to plan the most effective treatment. In Turkey, certified clinics and expert surgeons use advanced diagnostic tests to provide an accurate assessment.

Each test provides unique information, helping surgeons tailor the treatment to your specific hernia type and symptoms. Accurate diagnosis improves safety and outcomes.

Hiatal hernia treatment in Turkey

Treatment for a hiatal hernia depends on its type, size, and severity of symptoms. Turkey offers world-class care with options tailored to each patient's needs.

Medical treatment

For patients with sliding hiatal hernias or mild symptoms, medical management is often the first approach. This includes medications designed to reduce stomach acid, relieve heartburn, and control reflux. In addition, lifestyle adjustments such as dietary modifications, weight management, and avoiding activities that increase abdominal pressure can significantly improve comfort and daily functioning. 

The main goal of medical treatment is to manage symptoms effectively, prevent complications, and enhance quality of life without surgery. Regular follow-up ensures that the hernia does not worsen over time.

Even when symptoms are mild, early medical management can prevent the hernia from progressing and improve daily comfort.

Surgical treatment

Surgery is generally recommended for paraesophageal hernias, large hernias, or cases with severe symptoms that cannot be controlled with medication.

The most common surgical approach is laparoscopic fundoplication:

In rare cases, open surgery (laparotomy) may be necessary.

The goal of surgery is to correct the anatomical defect, relieve symptoms, and prevent serious complications, offering a long-term solution for patients whose hernias cannot be managed with medical treatment alone.

Paraesophageal hiatal hernia surgery

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.

Operative phase

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The main goal is to correct the anatomical defect and prevent acid reflux. The surgeon performs a fundoplication, creating a protective sleeve around the esophagus using part of your stomach. This reinforces the lower esophageal sphincter, preventing acid from rising into the esophagus and relieving symptoms effectively.

Postoperative phase

After surgery, you will be moved to the recovery room for close monitoring, typically around 2 hours. Some medical devices, such as drains or a nasogastric tube, may be temporarily placed to assist your recovery.

Once stable, you will be transferred to your hospital room. Gradual movement is encouraged, and you will be guided to stand up and start drinking fluids carefully. Pain is well-controlled with medication, allowing for a comfortable recovery.

Convalescence and post-operative follow-up

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.

For follow-up consultations:
