There are two main typs of hiatus
hernia: Sliding hiatus hernia (more than 80%): The gastroesophageal region
slides superior into the chest through the esophageal hiatus when the patient
lies down or bends over. Paraesophageal hiatus hernia: The gastroesophageal
region remains in its normal position, but parts of the stomach and peritoneum
slip through the esophageal hiatus. Some hernias present features of both
types and are referred to as mixed hiatus hernias
