Gastrocele Treatment in National Prime Hospital
About the clinic
National Prime Hospital in Baku, Azerbaijan, evaluates gastrocele and offers laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair. Its General Surgery Department has a dedicated minimally invasive surgery unit, and Dr. Ruslan Agayev performs laparoscopic hernia repair.
Diagnosis with endoscopy and imaging
Tests can help assess stomach herniation and related digestive concerns. Available options include:
- Upper GI endoscopy under sedation to examine the upper digestive tract.
- CT imaging and ultrasound to assess the area around the stomach and diaphragm.
- Colonoscopy or rectosigmoidoscopy for examination of the lower digestive tract.
- Clinical laboratory tests processed by an internationally accredited lab with barcode-tracked samples.
Surgical options with Nissen fundoplication
For a hiatal hernia, the hospital offers laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. This minimally invasive procedure repairs the stomach’s movement through the diaphragm.
- Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair uses Nissen fundoplication to repair stomach herniation.
- Abdominal wall and post-surgery hernia repair closes hernias through open or minimally invasive surgery.
- Minimally invasive surgery uses smaller incisions and may support faster recovery than open surgery.
Dr. Agayev specializes in general and bariatric surgery. He trained and practiced in Saint Petersburg from 2008 to 2011, and worked at Sina Hospital in Ankara.
Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss diagnostic and surgical options.

Key Facts and Achievements
The hospital maintains an internationally accredited clinical laboratory. This facility follows international quality standards for diagnostic accuracy. Barcode tracking prevents sample errors. Testing covers endocrinology, hematology, and tumor markers.
The medical team consists of 13 physicians across various specialties. Many trained at the Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University. Others completed practical training at clinical centers in Istanbul. This international background supports the hospital's focus on serving foreign travelers.
Specialties and Procedures
The Esthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department focuses on facial and body rejuvenation. Surgeons perform various procedures:
- Facial rejuvenation and face lifting
- Rhinoplasty using ultrasound Piezo technology
- Upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid correction)

The Orthopaedics and Traumatology Center provides surgical treatment for musculoskeletal diseases. Specialists perform endoscopic spinal surgery and joint replacement for knees, hips, and shoulders. Spinal procedures include microdiscectomy for lumbar herniated disks. A typical L4–L5 disk herniation removal under spinal anesthesia takes about 20 minutes.
The Urology Department serves men, women, and children. Care begins in the outpatient clinic and moves to the urodynamic laboratory if needed. The team manages urologic emergencies such as penile fractures and testicular torsion. Stone treatments include laser lithotripsy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).
The Ophthalmology Department treats both adults and children. Specialists manage glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. The department also provides surgery for strabismus (crossed eyes) and retinal detachment. Pediatric care focuses on correcting refraction defects and treating amblyopia (lazy eye).
The Gastroenterology Department offers advanced diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy. Surgeons perform complex procedures like Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) for swallowing disorders. Other services include Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) and Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG). These techniques treat digestive tract conditions without large incisions.
