A hernia of the esophageal hiatus is a condition in which the abdominal organs, especially the stomach, are herniated through the esophageal cleft of the diaphragm. This is the cause of the "face sign" causing persistent fatigue for the patient.

Since the first laparoscopic surgical repair of a diaphragmatic hernia in 1991, there has been debate about the best approach to treating a hiatal hernia. It is suggested that the laparoscopic approach, with many types of surgery, has a low postoperative pain rate, fast recovery time.

"HIS angle" refers to a normal acute angle formed between the abdominal esophagus and the fundus of the stomach (large bulge or fundus) at the gastroesophageal junction (esophagogastric junction). This angle is one of the important factors in preventing gastroesophageal reflux disease. When the fundus is enlarged by air or other gastric contents, the thoracic esophageal structures are "pushed" from left to right, closing the gastroesophageal flap valve.

Diaphragmatic hernia is a defect or opening in the diaphragm that allows abdominal organs to move into the chest cavity. A hiatal hernia occurs when the stomach or other organs protrude into the mediastinum through the esophageal opening of the diaphragm.

This 28-year-old girl was diagnosed with Hiatal Hernia (diaphragmatic hernia). I take medicine but there is no sign of relief. In addition to the symptoms of reflux and indigestion, she also has bad breath due to the reflux of stomach acid. So the doctor asked me if the diaphragmatic hernia can be operated on? What is the probability of success and is there a chance of recurrence after surgery? Thank you doctor.
