During a stomach hernia, doctors will pool
the hernia (part of the stomach) back into
the abdominal cave and narrow the opening
of the hernia. In the case of a hiatus
hernia, the opening is not completely
closed, as it would be for other hernias
because the esophagus normally should pass
through the esophageal opening (hiatus
oesophagei) on the diaphragm.
