A Hiatus Hernia is a type of hernia which occurs inside the body. In this condition, the stomach partially pushes up into the chest by squeezing through an opening (hiatus) in the diaphragm. A diaphragm is a thin, large sheet of muscle separating the chest from the abdomen.
A Hiatus Hernia allows stomach contents, particularly stomach acid, to move up into the oesophagus. This normally causes heartburn and other associated problems. When Hiatus Hernia causes chronic heartburn, it is treated laparoscopically. Dr Girish Juneja is renowned for providing the best Hiatus Hernia treatment in Dubai.

The abdominal hernia surgery in Dubai is done as laparoscopy. In this surgery, doctors make three to four small incisions into the abdomen; then the doctor will use a laparoscope which will guide him & during the procedure, the stomach is placed into the correct position, and the diaphragm is tightened.
Most people do not experience much pain after laparoscopic surgery, but they may feel discomfort in their abdomen and chest. Sometimes they may feel difficulty in swallowing for a few days post laparoscopy. As this procedure requires a minimum invasion, there are not many risks involved. A person may go home the same day or the next morning. Most people can return to their regular diet after a month of surgery & can stop taking heartburn medications.
