Contact UsWhat Is Hiatal Hernia Surgery?
Hiatal hernias can be a pretty common issue. Hiatal hernias occur when the top portion of your stomach pushes upward through the hiatus and into your thoracic cavity. The hiatus is a small opening in your diaphragm that allows the esophagus, the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach, to pass through. If you find yourself suffering from a hiatal hernia or have horrible heartburn pains which won't go away, help is available. Hiatal hernia surgery is a laparoscopic surgery that can ease troubling symptoms, such as acid reflux and persistent heartburn, and can provide you with the relief you seek. Contact Dr. Donald Balder at Mississippi Institute of Weight Loss & Gulf Coast Aesthetics to request a consultation to determine if hiatal hernia surgery may be beneficial for you.
What Can Be Expected During A Hiatal Hernia Surgery?
During your laparoscopic hiatal hernia surgery, you will be placed under general anesthesia. Dr. Balder will make small incisions where the medical instruments will be inserted into your abdomen. The stomach tissue that has protruded upward into the thoracic cavity will be moved back into its proper position below the diaphragm muscle. Dr. Balder will then use stitches to close or narrow the hole in the diaphragm that allowed the hiatal hernia to develop. Finally, he may do a "fundoplication" or wrap a portion of the stomach around the esophagus. This wrap is providing a valve effect to help reduce symptoms of acid reflux.

I have been a patient of Dr. Balder for the last 10 months and cannot say enough good things about him and his practice. My office visits have consisted of hormone replacement therapy, threads, and Opus Plasma for acne scarring. I left each visit pleased with the positive effects of the treatment provided. He has taken the time to listen to my concerns and formulated the best plan for me. His office staff is extremely pleasant and knowledgeable as well.

Just have to say a big thank you for all that Dr. Balder and his amazing staff have done. I recently had some neck threading done and I loved the results. A couple of days after I had some minor issues. I called the office and immediately they had me come in. Dr. Balder was outstanding and made sure that I was ok with zero complications. He took amazing care of me and I am beyond grateful. Thank you Dr. Balder to you and your staff you guys are amazing.
Dr. Balder has a good bedside manner. He explains what is happening and why. He is patient, conscientious, and even keeled. Not only to his patients, but from what I can tell, to his staff as well. His prices are very reasonable. You can tell he’s providing quality for a fair price for elective type services. Definitely recommend.

Most hiatal hernias do not require surgical intervention, and symptoms can be managed with medication; however, if your hiatal hernia is large or cannot be controlled with medication, you may be a good candidate for surgery. If you suffer from GERD, you are found to have an obstruction, ischemia, or cannot take medication long-term, you may also benefit from hiatal hernia surgery.
