I don't think doctor's recommend surgery nowadays, I have one, and I've been told that they don't usually do Surgery nowadays.

This is correct. Surgery is normally not recommended, at least in the US. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 17:55, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)

"LES" is undefined in the article and LES is of no help. Anyone have a clue? --Dante Alighieri | Talk 17:55, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)

I am planning an extensive edit of the entry - my main concern is how surgical treatment of this anatomical abnormality is treated. Surgery is the definitive treatment for people who have symptoms related to hiatal hernia, and far from an increase of complications related to surgery, surgery has gotten safer and more reliable in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease. Surgery is by no means the only option for a patient with symptomatic hiatal hernia/reflux but it is the only way reflux can be completely abolished. BTW LES = Lower Esophageal Sphincter--SkinnyB 19:55, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
