Can you have a operation for a hernia with barrett esophagus?

In: Conditions and Diseases [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

Yes. As a result of long time GERD I had Barret and I had the surgery in 1999. Through the surgical procedure called Laparoscopic Fundoplication I fixed my LES and Hiatal Hernia. Before surgery I had Laser treatment on Barret which reduced it to almost nothing. I feel excellent ever since. Gastrointestinal specialist is the first good step for more info. Good luck.
