Treated for acidity for months, woman’s severe pain turned out to be a rare stomach condition that could have been fatal
Doctors successfully treated a 61-year-old woman with a rare paraesophageal hernia and gastric volvulus using advanced robotic surgery. The patient experienced severe, persistent pain for eight months due to her stomach migrating into her chest and twisting. Robotic-assisted repair repositioned the stomach, repaired the diaphragm, and secured it, leading to a swift recovery and discharge within three days.
