Does IBS require surgery?
My father in law has been detected with IBS and his bowel movements are extremely erratic-- they tire him out completely. Is a surgery recommended for him?

Definitely not. This is a functional problem and should only be treated medically.
No IBS does not need surgery. IBD can. They are completely different diseases
No. IBS is a functional disorder of the motility of the colon. This is treated medically and with diet. There is no role for surgery.
