What are the risks of hiatal hernia surgery?

Hiatal hernia surgery carries risks of damage to other surrounding organs, postoperative dysphagia, and hemorrhage. 1. Injury to other surrounding organs: When surgery is done in a minimally invasive laparoscopic way, there are important organs and structures around the point of operation, such as the heart, bilateral lungs, and important organs such as the liver and spleen. If an inexperienced surgeon performs this surgery, there may be a risk of injury to other surrounding organs. 2. Difficulty in swallowing after surgery: If the surgical suture is too tight, it may cause narrowing of the esophagus and stenosis of the lacrimal hole, resulting in difficulty in swallowing at an early stage or even in the long term. 3. Hemorrhage: Because there are many large blood vessels around the surgical operation site, any injury during the surgery can lead to hemorrhage and cause danger. It is recommended to choose an experienced surgeon from a regular hospital to perform the surgery in order to reduce the probability of risks occurring during the surgery. Esophageal hiatal hernia surgery needs to be performed in strict accordance with protocols and postoperative observation to minimize various risks.
