Best Laparoscopic Hiatus Hernia Surgeon in Jalandhar

Dr. Abinav Anand is one of the top laparoscopic hernia surgeons in Jalandhar. Skope Hospital offers advanced minimally invasive treatment for hiatus hernia surgery. A laparoscopy hiatus hernia surgery is done under general anesthesia. 4-5 small incisions are made in the abdomen, and the surgeon inflates the abdomen with carbon dioxide gas to create working space. Then, a small camera (laparoscope) is inserted to help move specialized surgical instruments to position the stomach in its normal position. A laparoscopic hiatus hernia surgery requires several small keyhole incisions to be made in the upper abdomen and specialized surgical instruments to be placed through the incisions and into the abdomen along with a laparoscope. The surgeon has determined the location of the hernia and slowly pushes the stomach back to its place in the abdomen.

What does Hiatus Hernia mean?

A hiatus hernia occurs when the upper part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. The food pipe (esophagus) goes through an opening in the diaphragm (hiatus) into the abdomen. This is termed a hiatus. As a portion of the stomach swims through this opening into the chest, the natural block in the abdomen that prevents acid reflux is weakened. This leads to acid reflux and accompanying symptoms. This is a misstatement as most hiatal (or oesophageal) hernias don’t require an operation.

What are the different types of Bariatric Surgery?

01

Laparoscopic Mini-gastric Bypass Surgery

Laparoscopic Mini-gastric bypass surgery is the best bariatric surgery that helps you to lose weight. In this procedure, the doctors will create a small hole in the stomach by reducing its portion in the surgical procedure. After this step, this pouch is connected to a loop with the small intestine, and due to this rearrangment, the body will not absorb all the nutrients and calories, as a result of weight loss. Also, it reduces the chances of other diseases like cardiovascular risk, diabetes, high-blood pressure, and many more.

02

Gastric Bypass Surgery

This type of bariatric surgery is also known as Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. In this, the surgeon will staple the stomach, which will create a small hole on the top of the stomach and then connect to the middle part and lower part of the small intestine, and this leads to bypassing the rest of the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine. The surgery will lower the intake of food and the absorption of the calories adnd nutirents. Both these connection to the stomach will creates Y shaped configuration that is why it is known by roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

03

Sleeve Gastrectomy

A Sleeve Gastrectomy is a third type of bariatric surgery. In this, a thin flexible tube is inserted into the middle of the lesser curvature side of the stomach through the mouth. This tube helps the surgeon in finding the size of the stomach to be left, and the remaining part of the stomach is removed. Once the surgery is done, the surgeon removes the tube from the mouth, leaving a banana-shaped stomach. This type of surgery does not include any changes in the digestive system and allows the natural flow of food into the small intestine.

04

Adjustable Gastric Band

In this type of bariatric surgery, an adjustable band is placed in the upper part of the stomach that is connected to the reservoir that will create a small pouch on the top of the stomach. This band is tightened or loosened by the intersection or removal of the saline solution, and adjustments can be made to achieve successful results. This surgery will slow down the passage of food, resulting in weight loss. It not only provides benefits, but also helps in improving the other medical conditions of the individuals, like blood pressure.

05

Intra-Gastric Balloon

Intra-Gastric Balloon is a new method of introducing for losing weight. In this procedure, the surgery cannot be done. In this, a deflated ballon is placed inside the stomach, and then ballon is filled with different fluids with the help of an endoscope. After the results, the balloon is removed from the stomach, or some balloons are automatically passed. This surgery is non-surgical are require minimal invasive and it is recommended for patients who are unable to undergo weight loss surgeries.

Types of Hiatus Hernia

Hiatal hernias come in different types, which are as follows.

Sliding Hiatal Hernia

The esophagus and stomach meeting point slides up into the chest and then down. This is the most common form of hiatus hernia found in about 95% of all cases. It has been linked to acid reflux and GERD.

Rolling (Paraesophageal) Hiatal Hernia

The GEJ stays in its place, but the top section of the stomach pushes up next to the esophagus.

Mixed Hiatal Hernia

A combination of sliding and rolling hiatal hernias. The gastroesophageal junction and a part of the stomach protrude through the diaphragm.

Complex Hiatal Hernia

If it is severe, the opening of the diaphragm enlarges enough to allow other organs of the abdomen (colon, small intestine, spleen, or pancreas) to slip into the chest cavity.

Hiatus Hernia Causes

Hiatus Hernia causes are:

Extra weight around the abdomen and the stomach can exert additional pressure on the diaphragm and stomach.
Weakening of the muscle and tissue that support the diaphragm, as a result of advancing age, can lead to a hiatus hernia. Your diaphragm’s muscle and tissue will start to weaken and become less elastic. For this reason, a hiatus hernia more often occurs in adults, typically over the age of 50.
A chronic cough due to diseases such as asthma.
Constipation and straining while trying to pass stool.

Common Symptoms

Burping, nausea, and abdominal distention.
Trouble speaking, chewing, and swallowing.
Eating small amounts of food and feeling full very soon.
Heartburn, or increased discomfort when eating, swallowing, or drinking.
Acid reflux can leave an unpleasant taste in the mouth, which could be a bit bitter or sour.

Lifestyle & Treatment for Hiatal Hernias

Modifications of Lifestyle to Control Symptoms

Lifestyle modifications can help ease hiatal hernia symptoms. There are lifestyle changes that can help treat the symptoms of a hiatal hernia. Making some lifestyle changes can make a big difference in relieving discomfort in many people with a hiatal hernia. Taking smaller, more balanced meals, rather than large meals, throughout the day will relieve pressure on the stomach and the risk of acid reflux. Some basic lifestyle measures can also help. Don’t lie down right after meals, and sleep with the upper part of your body a little raised, not on your stomach, because this will help keep stomach acid from going into the food pipe. Loose-fitting garments around the waist and avoiding heavy lifting can also help to alleviate the symptoms of a hiatal hernia. Our specialists at Skope Hospital promote a healthy lifestyle and appropriate medical treatment for patients to better manage the symptoms of hiatal hernia and to enhance their quality of life.

Treatment options for hiatal hernias

Treatment for a hiatal hernia will depend on the size of the hernia, what symptoms you are having, and what effect the hiatal hernia is having on your life. For many, a small hiatal hernia (less than 2cm) that doesn’t cause any symptoms could be easily monitored and treated with healthy lifestyle changes instead of a surgical procedure. However, in the case of a large hiatus hernia (more than 2cm) and causing any symptoms, it may need surgery.

Hiatal Hernia Surgery in Jalandhar

Hiatal Hernia Surgery

Although there are lifestyle modifications and medications that can help many hiatal hernias, surgery may be considered if symptoms are severe, have lasted for a long time, or have a significant impact on quality of life. Some of the factors that determine whether you’re going to operate or not include the size of the hernia, the severity of acid reflux, and your overall health. Our gastrointestinal surgeons at Skope Hospital have extensive knowledge about the gastrointestinal system and will exhaust all possible options before offering surgery. Each patient is provided with an individual treatment plan for optimal and/or most appropriate treatment.

Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Repair (Fundoplication)

One of the most successful and commonly performed surgeries for hiatal hernia is a Laparoscopic Fundoplication. This is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed using a set of small incisions instead of a large cut in the abdomen. As the procedure is performed, the stomach is gently moved back to its normal position below the diaphragm. It is then strengthened to ensure that the stomach will not rise once more into the opening of the diaphragm. The upper portion of the stomach is carefully wrapped around the lower portion of the food pipe so that the stomach contents cannot easily return to the food pipe, thereby further preventing acid reflux. The main objective at Skope Hospital is to perform surgeries safely and effectively using cutting-edge techniques that ensure quick recovery and sustained relief from the symptoms of Hiatal Hernia.
