If a hernia is causing no problems, it can be safely left alone.If you have a reducible hernia (this means that the hernia can be pushed all the way back in) you may benefit from wearing a hernia support.

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