A hiatal hernia occurs when a portion of the stomach protrudes up through the diaphragm into the chest. They are often accompanied by gastroesophageal reflux, which results when the stomach contents leak upwards into the esophagus. Hiatal hernias affect around 20% of people in the U.S. and 50% of people 50 years of age or older.
