Surgeon helps patient whose stomach was flipped, in her chest | University of Iowa Health Care

Audrey Smith, 86, of Marion, Iowa, was having pain every time she had a meal. Scans showed that her entire stomach was flipped upside down, and had slipped above her diaphragm and into her chest, due to a hiatal hernia. She sought a second opinion from University of Iowa Health Care. Two weeks after a minimally-invasive surgery, the Audrey is getting back to her normal diet and pain-free.
