Drugs or surgery, which one would you opt for? Many have stood by their perspective sids of their fence. Some may complain about the problem of cost, while the latter would argue about the benefits of avoiding long term medication after surgery.

Experts have said that of all people who underwent heart surgery, only a mere 14% continued taking medication thereafter. Results have also further shown that the people’s quality of life had improved much significantly for those who were under the knife despite the cost woe.

The procedure itself costs an average of 2000 Euros per person. To most people, this is a hefty sum of cash. However, though expensive it may be, it beats having to engage in tablet taking for the rest of your life, especially those with side effects like headache, migraine and hallucination.

As said by Professor Adrian Grant, “Like all surgery, fundoplication has some risks, but the more troublesome the symptoms, the greater the potential benefit from the operation.”
