Hiatal hernia, endoscopic view C016 / 8330
Hiatal hernia. Endoscopic view of a hiatal hernia (gastro-oesophageal prolapse), seen from below, with the endoscope(black) seen in an inverted position inside the stomach. A hernia is the protrusion of an organ, or the fascia of an organ, through the wall of the cavity that normally contains it. In hiatus hernia (Mallory-Weiss syndrome) the stomach pushes up into the oesophagus (gullet)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a fascinating medical condition known as hiatal hernia. The image provides an endoscopic view of the hernia, revealing the gastro-oesophageal prolapse from below. The black endoscope can be seen in an inverted position inside the stomach, offering a unique perspective into this abnormality. A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm and pushes up into the oesophagus, causing discomfort and potential complications. This particular type of hernia is also referred to as Mallory-Weiss syndrome. It is characterized by damage to the wall between these two organs, disrupting their normal functioning. The intricate details captured in this photograph allow for a closer examination of the damaged mucosa lining and provide valuable insights for diagnosis and treatment purposes. Gastroenterologists specializing in gastrointestinal disorders rely on such diagnostic imaging to better understand conditions affecting the digestive system. As we explore this image further, it becomes evident that healthcare professionals utilize advanced techniques like endoscopy and colonoscopy to navigate through our complex intestinal tract. By studying images like these, medical experts gain crucial knowledge about various diseases and conditions within our bodies. In summary, this thought-provoking print not only highlights an intriguing case of hiatal hernia but also emphasizes how scientific imagery plays a vital role in advancing our understanding of human anatomy and improving healthcare practices worldwide.
