Answer 2

Why SURGERY ?
The surgery for hiatus hernia should not be confused with the techniques described for abdominal wall hernias. They are very different procedures.
... say that no decision should be taken to proceed to surgery for hiatus hernia lightly. The operation is relatively complex and if possible, non-surgical remedies are preferable.

For many cases of hiatus hernia, it is perfectly possible to end the problem once-and-for-all by an operation which tightens the hiatus area in order to keep the stomach in its correct place, below the diaphragm, and which reinstates the narrowing of the opening into the stomach, thus preventing the reflux and other symptoms. At The British Hernia Centre, ... effect the procedure through an incision in the abdomen (not through the chest).

Unlike an abdominal (or groin) hernia, a hiatus hernia occurs in the chest area and affects the digestive system.
Where the oesophagus ('food pipe', or 'gullet') goes down, it passes the diaphragm through a gap called the hiatus. Immediately below that, it goes into the stomach which sits just below the diaphragm.

This hiatus causes a narrowing of the opening into the stomach and this helps prevent stomach contents from going the wrong way, ie upwards, which is called reflux.

If the area of the hiatus is weak, the function of 'clamping down' on the entry to the stomach is weakened, the result being the reflux of acidic digestive juices up into the oesophagus, which is not protected against the action of these acids. The outcome of this is often a quite painful burning sensation. Other symptoms patients suffer include chest pain which may extend to just below the shoulder blades.

Unlike an abdominal hernia, there are no tell-tale visible symptoms of hiatus hernia, as the whole event occurs inside the chest. The diagnosis is established by a specialist; the combination of symptoms must be confirmed by X-ray and an endoscopy (a view using a lighted tube).

ABOUT Medicine
The advantage of the medicinal approach is that, in certain cases, this allows the patient to avoid all symptoms without too much inconvenience.
The disadvantage is that it may not be desirable to take medicine for the rest of one's life.

A Famous Surgeon for Hernia in INDIA
operated around 6,000 cases check the website below
With the prevalence rate of hernia being 25 per cent in Indian males above the age of 40 and 10 per cent in female above the age of 30, the recurrence rate of hernia operation is as high as 20 per cent. Experts say this is because of the fact that the weak muscles are unable to hold the stitches, and causes tremendous pain to the patient.
