A member asked:
I'm 23,never had gerd symptoms before my hiatal-hernia, i was wondering if i can get hernia surgery without fundoplication? worried about side effects
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No surgery: 90-95 % of people with GERD get better with medication. surgery reserved to a very small section of people . yes you can have a hiatal hernia surgery without the fundoplication, but that will not stop the efflux in any way. try to get the best medical treatment before start thinking about surgery.
