If you’re experiencing persistent heartburn, acid reflux, or chest discomfort, you may be one of the many people who have a Hiatal Hernia. At our centre in Delhi, we offer advanced laparoscopic and robotic hiatal hernia repair, giving you access to both minimally invasive keyhole surgery and the precision of robotic-assisted techniques performed by expert surgeons.
Our robotic platform provides enhanced accuracy, better visualization, and faster recovery—ensuring safer outcomes and long-lasting relief from symptoms.
What is a Hiatal Hernia?
A hiatal hernia develops when a portion of the stomach pushes upward through the diaphragm’s opening (hiatus) into the chest area.
While some individuals may not notice any symptoms, many experience discomfort such as acid reflux, swallowing difficulties, chest pain, or regurgitation.
If lifestyle modifications and medications fail to provide relief, surgical correction is often recommended to effectively treat the condition and prevent further complications.
When lifestyle changes and medications don’t relieve symptoms, surgical repair may be recommended.
Why Choose Robotic Surgery for Hiatus Hernia Repair
- Laparoscopic and robotic hernia repair is performed through tiny keyhole incisions using advanced high-definition imaging, resulting in less pain, minimal scarring, and quicker recovery.
- Both laparoscopic and robotic techniques provide excellent cosmetic results and offer a lower risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery.
- At our Delhi centre, experienced surgeons use modern laparoscopic and robotic technology in fully equipped operation theatres, ensuring safe surgery and comprehensive postoperative care for adults and children.
Our Surgical Approach
- Pre-operative assessment: We evaluate your symptoms, imaging, endoscopy and overall health to decide if laparoscopic repair is suitable.
- Surgery day: Under general anesthesia, small incisions are made and the hernia is reduced back into the abdomen. The hiatus is then repaired and, in many cases, an anti-reflux wrap (such as Nissen fundoplication) is created to restore valve function.
- Recovery & discharge: Many patients are mobilised quickly and may go home within 1-3 days, depending on their condition. Follow-up includes diet guidance, physiotherapy and long-term monitoring.
