A hiatus hernia repair is a surgical procedure used to correct a condition where the stomach pushes up into the chest through an enlarged opening in the diaphragm (hiatus). This can lead to heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and other symptoms. During the surgery, the surgeon reinforces or repositions the hiatus, restoring the normal position of the stomach and improving symptoms.
