Surgical repair: The only potential "cure" for a hiatal hernia is an operation. The hernia itself however does not usually cause any problem at all. Many people with reflux have no hernia, and many with hernias have no reflux. Large hernias, known as paraesophageal hernias, are a different story. Ask your primary care for an opinion. Hope this helps!
