Hiatal Hernia

Hiatus Hernia

Nissen fundoplication also reinforces the lower esophageal sphincter and alleviates reflux when it is present. [columbiasurgery.org]

For those without structural abnormalities of the antireflux barrier, inappropriate tLESR is the dominant and single most important mechanism, and these patients tend to present with milder disease severity compared to those with severe GERD whose predominant [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    If there is pain or discomfort, 3 or 4 sips of room temperature water will usually relieve the pain. [en.wikipedia.org]

    Giant hiatal hernias may cause symptoms including heartburn/regurgitation, anemia, aspiration, chest pain associated with eating, vomiting after meals, difficulty swallowing, fatigue, and shortness of breath. [columbiasurgery.org]

  • Weight Loss

    Symptomatic patients should elevate the head of their beds and avoid lying down directly after meals. [1] If the condition has been brought on by stress, stress reduction techniques may be prescribed, or if overweight, weight loss may be indicated. [en.wikipedia.org]

    Since GERD is the most common clinical manifestation in patients with hiatal hernia, lifestyle modifications (weight loss, elevation of head of bed, etc.) should be encouraged and medications (antacids, prokinetics, H2-receptor antagonists and proton [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Esophageal Motility Disorder

    Therefore, it is most commonly applied for assessing peristaltic function of the esophagus and measuring the LES pressure and relaxation, thus aiding in the evaluation of esophageal motility disorders. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment [ edit ] In the great majority of cases, sufferers experience no life-altering discomfort, and no treatment is required. If there is pain or discomfort, 3 or 4 sips of room temperature water will usually relieve the pain. [en.wikipedia.org]

Because reflux may damage the lining of the esophagus, treatment is essential. Symptoms can usually be managed with medications and behavior modification such as elevating the upper body on a pillow during sleep. [columbiasurgery.org]

Therefore, the standard treatments for GERD still apply. [med.unc.edu]

TREATMENT The presence of hiatal hernia per se is not an indication for treatment, and therapy should be given to those with symptoms attributable to this condition. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Nissen Fundoplication To repair and prevent a sliding hiatal hernia, Nissen fundoplication involves wrapping of the fundus (upper part) of the stomach around the bottom portion of the esophagus to create a bulge of tissue that holds the stomach in place [columbiasurgery.org]

In fundoplication, the gastric fundus (upper part) of the stomach is wrapped, or plicated, around the inferior part of the esophagus, preventing herniation of the stomach through the hiatus in the diaphragm and the reflux of gastric acid. [en.wikipedia.org]

The phrenoesophageal ligament/membrane is inserted circumferentially into the esophageal musculature in the close vicinity of the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ). 16 This ligament/membrane is essential in maintaining the competence of GEJ and preventing [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
