A member asked:
10 yrs ago i had paraesophageal hernia surgery, was told couldn't have it again due to the weak area. i now have a hiatal hernia. what are my options.

Trained MIS surgeon: Surgical repair of hiatal hernias is evolving, using minimally invasive surgery (MIS), such as laparoscopic or robotic repair. Use of mesh to strengthen the repair, particularly in redo hiatal surgery is likely to be the repair recommended. Make sure you go to an experienced MIS surgeon.
