Hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach protrudes into the chest through the diaphragm, often causing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Symptoms include heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing. Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair with fundoplication uses small incisions to reposition the stomach and wrap the upper stomach around the esophagus to prevent acid reflux. This minimally invasive approach reduces recovery time and pain. Risks include bloating, difficulty swallowing, or recurrence. Post-surgery, patients follow a liquid-to-soft diet and avoid heavy lifting. Recovery takes weeks, with significant symptom relief. The procedure is effective for long-term GERD control and hernia repair, especially when medications fail. Regular follow-ups ensure proper healing and monitor for complications. Lifestyle changes like avoiding trigger foods enhance outcomes.
