Description

Hiatal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are increasingly common problems, often caused by weakening of the diaphragm and widening of the esophageal hiatus. At World Laparoscopy Hospital (WLH), these conditions are managed with advanced minimally invasive techniques that ensure accuracy, safety, and faster recovery for patients. The hospital is globally recognized for its expertise in laparoscopic and robotic gastrointestinal surgery, making it a trusted center for complex esophageal procedures. The surgical approach begins with a thorough evaluation of the patient’s anatomy and symptoms. When conservative treatment fails, laparoscopic repair of the esophageal hiatus becomes essential to restore the normal barrier between the chest and abdomen. At WLH, surgeons meticulously reduce the herniated stomach into the abdominal cavity, followed by narrowing the enlarged hiatus using delicate intracorporeal suturing. This precise reconstruction prevents further herniation and stabilizes the lower esophageal sphincter. To offer long-term relief from reflux, surgeons perform a Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication, a gold-standard procedure in which the gastric fundus is wrapped 360 degrees around the esophagus. With the help of high-definition imaging, energy devices, and advanced laparoscopic skills, doctors at WLH achieve a tension-free, functionally effective wrap that maintains normal swallowing while preventing acid reflux. Patients benefit from minimal pain, reduced hospital stay, and rapid return to routine activities. The combination of hiatal hernia repair and Nissen fundoplication at World Laparoscopy Hospital reflects the institution’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and world-class surgical training. Through state-of-the-art techniques and unmatched expertise, WLH continues to provide a comprehensive and reliable solution for patients suffering from persistent GERD and hiatal hernia.
