Gastro-oesophageal prolapse in hiatal hernia. Endoscope view of gastro-oesophageal prolapse in a patient with a hiatal hernia. The stomach (at centre)


Gastro-oesophageal prolapse in hiatal hernia. Endoscope view of gastro-oesophageal prolapse in a patient with a hiatal hernia. The stomach (at centre) is seen pushing up into the oesophagus. A hiatal hernia occurs when a portion of the stomach protrudes through the hole in the diaphragm (hiatus) that the oesophagus normally passes through.
