Hiatal & Foregut Surgery
At Arizona Premier Surgery, we understand that preventive care and early intervention are essential to maintaining upper digestive health. Dr. Vanitha Vasudevan provides advanced hiatal and foregut surgical care, including minimally invasive surgery for hiatal hernias, inguinal and abdominal hernias, and esophageal conditions. Using modern surgical techniques, our team is committed to delivering precise, effective care focused on long-term relief and recovery.
What is Hiatal & Foregut Surgery?
Hiatal and foregut surgery is used to treat conditions affecting the upper digestive tract, including hiatal hernias, inguinal and abdominal hernias, and disorders of the esophagus. These conditions may cause symptoms such as heartburn, reflux, chest discomfort, difficulty swallowing, or abdominal pain and may require surgical treatment when nonsurgical options are no longer effective.
Robotic hiatal and foregut surgery is a minimally invasive approach that allows surgeons to perform complex procedures with enhanced precision and control. By using small incisions and advanced robotic technology, this approach may help reduce postoperative discomfort, minimize scarring, and support a smoother recovery.
