Laparoscopic Hiatus Hernia

Hiatus Hernia Treatment

A hiatus Hernia is a protrusion of the upper part of the stomach through a defect in the diaphragm.

Types of Hiatus Hernia

There are many types of hiatus hernia. The common type is the sliding type where there is a protrusion of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and the stomach through the diaphragm. This happens because the LES is lax. The rarer type is the paraesophageal type where there is a movement of the stomach with the LES remaining stationary.

Risk factors of hiatus hernia

Stress, Weight lifting, sneezing, pregnancy, weight lifting, heavy vomiting and constipation with straining at stool are some of the risk factors.

Symptoms of hiatus hernia

Most hiatus hernia are asymptomatic. However, a few are symptomatic. The commonest symptoms are heartburn which presents like a nagging ache behind the sternum. Shortness of breath and palpitations are other symptoms.

Non-Surgical Treatment for hiatus hernia

In persons who are not symptomatic or have minimal symptoms, the treatment usually depends on avoiding risk factors. Life style modifications like not eating to a full stomach, avoiding drinking water after eating food, avoiding caffeine and other sodas, not bending down after eating usually help. The head end of the bed can be elevated a bit to help. Pro kinetic drugs combined with proton pump inhibitors work well.

Laser Nissen Fundoplication

This is a procedure when the Laser beam is introduced through Laparoscopy. The lower part of the stomach is freed bloodlessly and the stomach is wrapped around the lower part of the esophagus and held in place with sutures. This is a day care procedure with very minimal pain as it is assisted by the laser.

Incisional Hernia Treatment

An incisional hernia occurs when there is protrusion of bowel contents through a previous operated scar in the abdomen. This denotes a weakening in the muscle and tissues through which bowel descends. An incisional hernia is notorious for adhesions and pain.

Symptoms of incisional hernia:

A previously operated site attracts adhesions. The bowel and omental adhesions can cause pain and discomfort. A pulling sensation can be experienced. Rarely a strangulation can occur with obstruction which can result in death of the bowel.

Best treatment for incisional hernia at chennai laser gastro clinic

For the treatment of incisional hernia, we, at Chennai laser gastro clinic, use the technique of Laser Laparoscopy, where the adhesions are cut with the laser beam with minimal or no bleeding. The defect can be patched with a mesh and then tacked.

Abdominoplasty/Cosmetic Surgery with Laser

When there is a lot of excess skin and fat that presents along with the hernia, then an abdominoplasty is required. This is where the Ho YAG scores over the conventional techniques. When blood loss occurs and the vessels are diathermised, skin healing may be compromised. However, with the laser the seamless cutting without bleeding preserves skin integrity and also keeps the nerves intact. The wound healing is very good with excellent cosmetic results.
