Hernia Surgery

Hiatal Hernia

A hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity, often causing severe acid reflux and heartburn. Dr. Adarsh, based in Bengaluru, performs laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication and cruroplasty to restore the normal anatomy and provide lasting relief from GERD symptoms.

This can cause severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and, in large hernias, may lead to breathing difficulties or volvulus.
