Years of discomfort. One advanced robotic procedure. A new quality of life.
A middle-aged woman struggling with long-standing acidity, reflux, and upper abdominal discomfort found lasting relief after undergoing robotic hiatal hernia repair at Manipal Hospitals, Yeshwanthpur.
Under the care of Dr. Lohith P, Consultant- Robotic Surgical Gastro, GI & HPB OncoSurgery, she was diagnosed with a large hiatal hernia where nearly half of the stomach had moved into the chest cavity.
With the precision of robotic surgery, the procedure was completed successfully, enabling faster recovery and minimal discomfort. The patient recovered well, resumed diet comfortably, and was discharged within 2 days.
Persistent acidity, reflux, chest discomfort, or regurgitation should not be ignored. Timely evaluation and advanced treatment can significantly improve quality of life.
