Hiatal hernia

  • Hiatal hernia

Hiatal hernia is a pathological dilatation of esophageal opening of diaphragm, when ligaments, fixing esophagus and stomach, are expanded. As a result, the superior part of stomach finds itself in the thorasic cavity, and the work of the inferior esophageal sphincter is disturbed. A patient feels heartburn, especially at nights in the horizontal position, pain behind the sternum, dry coughing, problems with heart

We have made the technique of laparoscopic operation for hiatal hernia more perfect, and it gives a possibility to reduce relapses up to 2 % in 1 year and 4% in 5 years after operation. For our technique we have got a patent of the RF.I have the experience of performing on more than 1,200 laparoscopic operations for hiatal hernia.

If there are no effects due to medicamentous therapy, there is an indication to perform on operation, and the essence of it is restoration of normal anatomical correlation in the area of esophagus and stomach.

Esophagus and the superior part of stomach are exposed from adhesions and are brought down to the abdominal cavity up to the normal level. Then I perform on cruroraphy (decrease of the opening in diaphragm) and fundoplication (creation of the cuff to prevent reflux of contents of stomach into the esophagus).

The peculiarity of my technique is a careful performing on operation, restoration of anatomy of the superior floor of the abdominal cavity and creation of functional gastroesophageal valve, that will promote to have usual way of life for a patient, without taking tablets. When I expose esophagus and stomach, I use the contemporary apparatus of dosed electrothermal ligation of tissues “LigaSure” (U.S.A.), that gives a possibility to “weld” vessels without injuring the surrounding structures. The use of contemporary synthetic absorbable thread and anticommissural barriers also improve the results of my operations. Fundoplication according to Toupe (France, 1984) implies that the abdominal part of esophagus is turned round by stomach, and it is 270 degrees- it gives me a possibility to guarantee my patients physiological work of sphincter after operation.

I have modified fundoplication according to Toupe, where 270 degrees are used, not 360 degrees as compared to fundoplication according to Nissen, when an absolute valve is formed, that does not exist in nature at all. My modified technique is without disadvantages. I constantly mention that fundoplication according to Nissen is harmful. And many prominent gastroenterologists of our country agree with me.
