શું છાતીની બળતરા અને ખાટા ઓડકાર પાછળ ડાયાફ્રેમનો હર્નિયા (હાયેટસ હર્નિયા) હોઈ શકે?

A person in their mid-30s had a large hiatus hernia with reflux. A doorbeen (laparoscopic) repair with a fundoplication settled the symptoms, with an easy recovery. Chronic heartburn and regurgitation can be due to a diaphragm (hiatal) hernia — worth evaluating when medicines fall short.

क्या दवाओं के बाद भी बनी रहने वाली एसिडिटी के पीछे छोटा हायटस हर्निया हो सकता है?

A woman in her early 30s had acidity and regurgitation not controlled by medicines; endoscopy found a small hiatus hernia. A doorbeen (laparoscopic) fundoplication relieved it, with a quick recovery. When acidity persists despite medicines, even a small hiatal hernia can be the cause.

Frequently asked questions

What is a hiatal hernia?

Is the repair a major operation?

It is usually done by doorbeen (laparoscopic) surgery through small incisions, with a short stay and quick recovery.
