Surgery For Hiatus Hernia
Hi all,
Have any of you had surgery for hiatus hernia? I had mybsecond upper GI endoscopy yesterday, and was told hernia has got larger. So it's been put forward to my Doctor, I should have surgery to repair it in our local city hospital. I was told, they might decide to just keep me on medication, PPi's. I would really like this to go ahead, as I've had a lot of discomfort, ie, food getting stuck in my back, soreness in my chest. I would appreciate if anyone can tell me a bit about how the surgery Is performed, and what's involved etc. Thanks all.

I know the Nissen Fundoplication is the latest less invasive op they do. I'm not sure what to think about your reply, rockyracoon..I hope yours was successful?
I'll have to wait and see what next consultant says.
