Stay in hospital...
If its done under microscope,then probably one week
If its done endoscopically,then 2 to 3 days
It all depends on the individual and as the situation demands
Acid reflux and gerd has no relation to this....That requires a seperate treatment plan as such
Next Steps
Plan for surgery if its a large to medium hole
If its pin hole or small hole...wait for some time
Health Tips
