Article Synopsis
- Patients with hiatus hernia often experience symptoms like hoarseness (H), misdirected swallowing to the larynx (MSL), and nose (MSN).
- A study assessed 90 patients to see if surgery for hiatus hernia would alleviate these respiratory symptoms.
- Results showed a significant reduction in all symptoms post-surgery, indicating that hiatus hernia repair can effectively improve these conditions, regardless of the patient's weight.
