Chattanooga Hiatal Hernia Surgeons

Hiatal hernias are common, which are normally caused by injuries to the stomach/chest area, intense pressure on surrounding muscles, or age-related changes to the diaphragm. Small hiatal hernias often do not cause symptoms, but larger ones can cause major discomfort. Men and women 50 years or older and those who are obese are at a higher risk for developing hiatal hernias.

Hiatal Hernia FAQs

A hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of the stomach moves into the chest cavity through the diaphragm. Some people can have a small hiatal hernia and not know it, while those with larger hernias often receive hiatal hernia repair surgery to alleviate symptoms like heartburn, acid reflux, difficulty swallowing, chest or abdominal pain, and more.

The best treatment for a hiatal hernia will depend on your situation. Meeting with a hernia doctor to discuss your symptoms and needs will allow you to decide between robotic or laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair. Both options allow you to recover quickly and return to your normal routines.

Hiatal hernia surgery is recommended when the hernia is causing an individual pain, troublesome breathing, or challenges digesting food. If you have persistent heartburn, acid reflux, feeling full quickly after you eat, shortness of breath, or discomfort in your chest/abdomen area, meet with a hernia doctor to learn more about surgery options.
