What is Hiatal Hernia Surgery?
Hiatal hernia repair surgery, also known as fundoplication or laparoscopic fundoplication, repairs the stomach bulge that occurs when the muscles of the diaphragm (hiatus) between the abdomen and chest are too long. The surgery involves closing the diaphragm, tightening the junction between the oesophagus and stomach, and pulling the displaced part of the stomach and surrounding tissues back into their original position.
This reconstructive surgery is mostly performed for people suffering from severe heartburn, inflammation of the oesophagus, narrowing of the diaphragm opening, major diet and lifestyle changes, or lack of blood flow.
This procedure is mostly performed laparoscopically under the influence of general anaesthesia and typically takes 2-3 hours, depending on hernia size and complexity. Several types of hiatal hernia repair surgery are performed according to the severity of the condition, the surgeon’s expertise and experience, and, in some cases, the patient’s choice, including:
- Laparoscopic Surgery
- Open Surgery
- Endoscopic Fundoplication
- Magnetic Sphincter Augmentation

Hiatal Hernia: Pre-Op & Post-Op Care
Pre-Surgical Measures: The surgeon performs an overall health evaluation, including blood tests, full-body checkups, and other diagnostic tests. They may advise refraining from certain medications before the surgery and instruct fasting for 8-10 hours in some patients.
Procedure: Following the administration of general anaesthesia, an incision is made at the abdomen or the left side of the chest to push back the part of the stomach and the surrounding tissues, making the hole in the diaphragm covered in the mesh to make it smaller. The surgeon might reconstruct the esophageal valve to treat reflux and wrap and stitch the top part of the stomach to the lower oesophagus, allowing support to strengthen the surrounding tissues.
Post-surgery and Recovery Phase: Post-surgery, vital signs are closely monitored, and the patients can leave the hospital after 2-3 days. Post-discharge, the patient must maintain the cleanliness of the treated site, take prescribed medications regularly, avoid tight clothing, sleep on the left side, and avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks until fully recovered.
