What Are Gastric Hernias?

Gastric hernias occur when part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. This condition, also known as a hiatal hernia, can cause discomfort, acid reflux, and other complications if left untreated.

There are several types of abdominal hernias related to the stomach area:

Hiatal Hernia: The stomach protrudes into the chest cavity through the diaphragm.
Inguinal Hernia: Found in the groin area, affecting the lower abdominal wall.
Umbilical Hernia: Occurs around the belly button.
Incisional Hernia: Develops at the site of previous surgical scars.

Why Should Hernias Be Treated?

Leaving hernias untreated can lead to severe complications, including:

Persistent discomfort and pain.
Increased risk of strangulation, where the hernia cuts off blood supply to tissues.
Digestive issues like acid reflux, bloating, and difficulty swallowing.
Long-term damage to surrounding organs.

Early intervention ensures a safe and quick recovery, reducing the likelihood of complications.

How Are Gastric Hernias Treated?

Gastric hernias are treated based on their severity. Laparoscopic repair is the preferred minimally invasive method, involving small incisions to reposition and secure the hernia with sutures or mesh. For complex cases, open surgery may be required. Lifestyle changes, including diet and weight management, are often recommended for mild cases. For patients with obesity, hernia repair can be combined with gastric sleeve surgery, addressing both conditions in one procedure to reduce risks and improve outcomes.

What Happens During the Process?

You start with an online consultation to evaluate your condition and discuss treatment options. Upon arrival in Istanbul, you’ll stay for about a week. This includes undergoing necessary diagnostic tests, the surgical procedure, and a short recovery period. Our team ensures every step is smooth and efficient, from initial preparation to follow-up care, allowing you to return home with confidence.
