Hiatal Hernia and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease - Prof. Stefano Olmi - UPsalute Channel
In this new episode of UPsalute, we discuss hiatal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with Professor Stefano Olmi, Head of the General and Oncology Surgery Unit, the Abdominal Wall Surgery Center, the Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery Center, and the Obesity Surgery Center at the San Marco Polyclinic of the San Donato Group. He is also an Associate Professor at the School of Specialization in General Surgery at the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University in Milan.
What is a hiatal hernia?
A hiatal hernia is the anatomical cause of the onset of symptoms of GERD. In some cases, before a correct diagnosis is made, the patient risks undergoing a multitude of tests, often unsuccessful. So, what are the symptoms that may indicate a hiatal hernia? What are the most appropriate diagnostic tests? How is this condition treated?
