Esophagophrenoplasty

Esophagophrenoplasty is a surgical procedure used to treat conditions of the esophagus and diaphragm, such as hiatal hernia (HH) and diaphragmatic spasm. The surgery involves removing part of the diaphragm and replacing it with a man-made material such as fabric or plastic.

A hiatal hernia is a condition in which part of the esophagus protrudes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. This can lead to various symptoms such as heartburn, chest pain, cough and difficulty breathing.

Diaphragmatic spasm is a condition where the muscles of the diaphragm contract and cause pain and difficulty breathing. This can be caused by various factors such as stress, smoking, alcohol and others.

Esophagophrenoplasty can be performed either open or laparoscopically. With the open method, an incision is made in the abdomen, and with the laparoscopic method, an incision is made through small punctures in the abdominal cavity.

After surgery, the patient may experience some discomfort and pain, which usually goes away within a few days. However, if the patient does not follow the doctor's recommendations for caring for sutures and wounds, it may lead to complications such as infection, bleeding, etc.

In general, esophagophrenoplasty is an effective treatment for hiatal hernia and diaphragmatic spasm. It allows you to restore normal function of the esophagus and diaphragm and improve the patient’s quality of life.

Esophagophrenoplasty is a set of measures aimed at eliminating defects of the esophagus and returning the patient to a normal, ordinary life, involving him in work, subject to the preservation of the compensatory abilities of the surrounding tissues and organs.

Esophagophreniplasia is based on modern data, taking into account the psychosomatic nature of the disease, the patient’s condition, topographical-anatomical and histological changes in tissues and organs, it requires an integrated approach, the use of mechanical and biological prosthetics, the use of elephant calcium, plastic surgery with new synthetic and split tissues.
