I have severe lpr want to get surgery stretta or nissen which one is good for lpr?

Is this reflux?: well, in both cases there's a strong possibility of the same loosening of the area happening again and the reflux returning years/decades later. Stretta is MINIMALLY INVASIVE and not risky and doesn't require a lot of preparation nor recovery time. Both work in the short run.

Depends: upon whether you have a para-esophageal hiatus hernia (Hernia of the stomach into the diaphtagm. STRETTA deals with the espohageal sphincter and is minimally invasive. The other corrects the hernia and sphincter and is via LAPROSCOPE...minimally invasive but an incision is made. FINALLY its your SURGEON/GASTROENTEROLOGIST who should explain and make choice with you! Hope this helps! Good Luck Z
