First, the surgeon pulls the stomach away from the hiatus, or opening, in the diaphragm.
Then, the surgeon cuts away the tissue that connects the liver and the stomach.
The surgeon can then dissect part of the diaphragm around the esophagus... This gives better access to the diaphragm and the esophagus.
Next, the surgeon pulls the esophagus upwards...
and closes the hiatus with sutures. Malpractice Medical
Some hiatal hernias can cause persistent and painful acid reflux and your doctor may decide to correct the problem surgically. In this case, the surgeon divides and separate the arteries that supply blood to the top of the stomach.
After freeing the stomach from the spleen,
your doctor wraps the upper portion of the stomach around the esophagus and sutures it into place. Patient Education and Malpractice Medical
A rubber tube is placed in the esophagus to keep the wrap from becoming too tight.
All of the instruments are withdrawn... Malpractice Medical
the carbon dioxide is allowed to escape...
the muscle layers and other tissues are sewn together and the skin is closed with sutures or staples.
