Repair of Hiatal Hernia with Symptoms Affecting Breathing and Heart Function at Dr. Hossam Hamed Center

A hiatal hernia is a common condition that occurs when the diaphragm, which separates the chest from the abdomen, weakens, allowing parts of the stomach or small intestine to slip into the chest. In some cases, a hiatal hernia may not cause any symptoms, but in other cases, it can lead to severe symptoms affecting breathing and heart function. At Dr. Hossam Hamed Center, we offer specialized surgical services to repair hiatal hernias and treat the associated symptoms.

Case Evaluation:

The process begins with a case evaluation by a specialized medical team, which includes:

• Reviewing the patient’s history and identifying the symptoms and their severity.
• Conducting diagnostic tests such as X-ray imaging or MRI to determine the extent of organ slippage into the chest and assess the damage.

Surgery:

When surgery is needed, the following steps are performed at Dr. Hossam Hamed Center:

Patient Preparation:

• • The patient is given specific instructions regarding fasting and fluid intake before the surgery.

Performing the Surgery:

• • Hiatal hernia repair surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The diaphragm is precisely corrected and reinforced to prevent the hernia from recurring.

Post-Surgery Care:

• • Necessary post-surgery care is provided to the patient, including pain relief medications and instructions on diet and physical activity.

Follow-Up:

• The patient is carefully monitored after surgery to ensure full recovery and to prevent complications. Regular follow-up examinations are conducted to ensure the hernia does not recur.
