Frequent heartburn, acid regurgitation, difficulty swallowing, or discomfort after meals can sometimes be associated with a hiatal hernia. Although some cases can be managed with medication and lifestyle changes, others may require specialist evaluation to determine whether surgery is appropriate.
Dr Balaji Nagammapudur is a UK-trained consultant upper GI surgeon at NMC Royal Hospital, Dubai, with more than 30 years of surgical experience. He assesses patients with simple and complex hiatal hernias and explains the treatment approaches available according to their symptoms, diagnostic findings, and overall health.
Hiatal hernia surgery involves returning the stomach to its normal abdominal position and repairing the opening in the diaphragm when indicated. A laparoscopic, or keyhole, approach may be suitable for selected patients. Depending on the underlying condition, an anti-reflux procedure may also be considered.
Before recommending surgery, the specialist may review your symptoms, medical history, endoscopy results, and relevant imaging or functional tests. The aim is to establish an accurate diagnosis and develop an appropriate treatment plan rather than recommend surgery for every hernia.
