A member asked:
Hiatal hernia repair with linx device, how likely will the hernia reoccur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Risk with new device: Surgery, inherently has risk. The risk/benefit analysis where you compare your risk without surgery to the risk of your procedure/surgeon combination is how you decide if you want to proceed with surgery. The linx device has an excellent profile. Stay in contact with your surgeon and report any new symptoms. Be well.
