Anyone else concerned about having to redo hiatal hernia repairs multiple times in a lifetime?
I understand roughly 1/3rd* of hiatal hernia repairs can fail after the 10 year mark. If someone is young, and in their 30's, I'd be concerned about multiple repair failures. I'd imagine redoing stitches and meshes repeatedly can really damage the musculature over time.
