Reflux / Hiatus Hernia Surgery

Reflux / Hiatus Hernia Surgery

Reflux”, or gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), is a common problem in our society. Hiatus hernia is also a common problem. Not all patients with reflux have a hiatus hernia. Similarly, not all patients with a hiatus hernia have reflux. A person may have symptoms or be diagnosed incidentally with either of these conditions when undergoing tests for other reasons, such as an endoscopy or a CT scan. Some patients may need or choose to have surgery called Laparoscopic hiatus hernia repair and/or fundoplication. Surgical treatment of a hiatus hernia is similar to that for surgery for reflux.
