Hiatal hernia surgery uses minimally invasive techniques to fix a hernia caused by the stomach pushing into the chest. Hiatal hernia surgery (also known as “hiatal hernia repair”) is a procedure that treats hiatal hernia, a condition in which the stomach pushes into the chest cavity. This occurs due to weakness in the diaphragm, a thin band of muscle that keeps the abdomen and chest cavity separate.
