Paraesophageal Hernia Repair by Dr. Arun Prasad
Paraesophageal hernia repair is performed to correct a hernia where part of the stomach moves into the chest beside the food pipe. This condition may become serious if the stomach twists, gets trapped, or causes obstruction.
Dr. Arun Prasad provides paraesophageal hernia repair after detailed evaluation of symptoms, endoscopy findings, CT scan or barium study, reflux assessment, medical history and overall patient condition.
Choosing an experienced paraesophageal hernia surgeon is important because the repair requires careful surgical planning. Laparoscopic hernia repair with fundoplication may be advised in suitable patients.
