A member asked:
Is hiatal hernia surgery done as an out-patient surgery?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No: Most of the hiatal hernia repairs are performed in association to some other procedures and given the complexity of procedures, most of the times, patients are admitted at least over night.

Sometimes: It depends on the extent of your surgery. Many of my patients who had simple small hiatal hernias repaired with concurrent antireflux procedure do go home the same day.
