What Does Pain Around An Esophageal Stent Indicate?
I had a giant Perineal hiatal hernia, I had periscopic surgery about 1 1/2 years ago my stomach went into my esophagitis and twisted I healed fast about 1 month I also had 16 bleeding ulcers. Now I find for about the last 3 months I m having pain where they used the tube and mesh to connect my esophagitis and my stomach. The pain is not all the time but comes and goes, it is normally a sharp pain is this anything to be concerned about

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
Standard side effects include those that are inherent risks with any type of surgery, including problems with anesthesia such as pneumonia or problems breathing, as well as negative reactions to the anesthesia or heart problems. In addition, specific hiatal hernia surgery side effects include damage to digestive organs like the colon, stomach or esophagus. Additionally, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), is not uncommon amongst persons who have undergone surgery to repair a hiatal hernia, although it commonly resolves a few days following the procedure. Bloating from the gases used during the operation is also not unheard of as an after effect. However, one of the biggest hiatal hernia surgery side effects is the knowledge that the condition can recur.
Take care
