A member asked:

How long should it take to recover from a diaphragm plication?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: There are many technical components and individual variations to take into consideration. Initial discomfort may be over in 1-2 wks if done via scope, 4-6 wks for open. However, optimal healing stability is around 3 months - longer if you have complications or comorbidities.
