I have had a hiatus hernia for over 3 years that has been extremely debilitating on my quality of life. Additionally, this condition being regarded as a non urgent procedure is rather misleading as the following will explain. The surgeon who carried out this procedure was fantastic and spent over 2.5 hours repairing my paraoesophagel hernia and Nissen fundoplication. The added complication was that where the hernia had spent so long resting on my lungs it had become moulded to them. This meant the surgeon had to carefully separate them. I can only thank the surgeon for the time and skill he used to give me a far better quality of life. However, if this procedure was measured as needing urgent treatment then I would not have lost those years of my retirement. Thank you for my treatment, however more research and funding should be made available for this area so earlier intervention can be prioritised.
