A member asked:

3 yrs ago had paraesphageal surgery, i think i may i have reinsured it. can it be repaired? prior surgery could not be laparoscopically repair.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If you had repair: Of a paraesophageal hiatal hernia 3 yrs ago and suspect a recurrence, you need to see a surgical specialist immediately. This sub-type of hiatal hernias, if present, could lead to incarceration and even strangulation. Imaging studies will tell for sure.
