No abstract text is available yet for this article.

The aim of this study was to assess symptomatic recurrence in patients who underwent a laparoscopic repair of large hiatal hernia without an esophageal lengthening procedure. Patients who underwent a laparoscopic repair of a large hiatal hernia from September 2009 to September 2015 by a single surgeon were identified in the retrospective review. The patients were followed up prospectively by the operating surgeon using a structured questionnaire, administered by telephone, to assess the symptoms. Symptomatic recurrence was defined as the requirement for a reoperative procedure for symptomatic recurrent hiatal hernia...

BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery in Chile has seen an exponential increase in recent years, especially in sleeve gastrectomy. Its use is currently discussed in patients suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease. Different options have been considered for the management of these patients but up to now laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass seems to be the best option. Sleeve gastrectomy plus concomitant fundoplication or hiatal hernia repair also has been suggested in patients having reflux or small hiatal hernia...

An 87-year-old woman with a 4-month history of postprandial gastrointestinal obstruction was admitted to our facility after suddenly vomiting black matter. Computed tomography and esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed gastric prolapse and prolapse of the duodenum and transverse colon. Morgagni hernia combined with esophageal hiatal hernia was diagnosed. Gastric and duodenal obstructions were successfully repaired by endoscopy, followed by laparoscopic repair. Endoscopic repair helped the patient avoid fasting before surgery...

Esophageal hiatal hernia is defined as the prolapse of one or more intra-abdominal organs through the esophageal hiatus. Four types are identified: type Ι or sliding hiatal hernia, type II or paraesophageal hernia (PEH), type III or mixed hernia and type IV. Congenital type II esophageal hiatal hernia is caused by a remaining gap after the formation of pleuroperitoneal membrane. We present a case of a six years old boy admitted to our department, appearing with asymptomatic anemia, who was incidentally diagnosed with Type II esophageal hiatal hernia...

BACKGROUND: Both hiatal hernias (HH) and morbid obesity significantly contribute to gastroesophageal reflux disease, which increases the risk for esophagitis and esophageal cancer. Therefore, concomitant HH repair is recommended during bariatric surgery procedures. Unfortunately, recurrence of HH after repair is not uncommon and the optimal surgical technique has yet to be established. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of recreating the phrenoesophageal ligaments by adding phrenoesophagopexy to HH repair during sleeve gastrectomy...

INTRODUCTION: Magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) of the lower esophageal sphincter restores the antireflux barrier in patients with hiatal hernias ≤3 cm. We performed a prospective study in patients undergoing MSA with the LINX device during repair of paraesophageal and hernias over 3 cm axial component. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Multicenter, prospective study of consecutive patients treated with MSA at the time of repair of hiatal hernias >3 cm. RESULTS: 200 patients (110 female) were treated between March 2014 and February 2017 via laparoscopic hernia repair and MSA...

INTRODUCTION: This study aims to evaluate the outcomes and utilization of porcine acellular dermal collagen implant (PADCI) during VHR at a large tertiary referral center. METHODS: Records of 5485 patients who underwent VIHR from June 1995 to August 2014 were retrospectively reviewed to identify patients >18 years of age who had VIHR with PADCI reinforcement. Use of multiple mesh reinforcement products, inguinal hernias, and hiatal hernias were exclusion criteria...

BACKGROUND: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) can be reversed into normal anatomy (NA) or into sleeve gastrectomy (NASG) to address undesired side effects. Concomitant hiatal hernia repair (HHR) may be required. Before reversal, some patients benefit from placement of a gastrostomy, mostly to predict the result of recreating the native anatomy. METHODS: Retrospective study on mid-term effects of RYGB reversal to NA and NASG, including clinical and weight evolution, surgical complications, and incidence of gastro-esophageal reflux (GERD)...

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic cruroplasty and fundoplication have become the gold standard in the treatment of hiatal hernia and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The use of a mesh-reinforcement of the cruroplasty has been proven effective; although, there is a lack of evidence considering which type of mesh is superior. The aim of this study was to compare recurrence rates after mesh reinforced cruroplasty using biological versus synthetic meshes. METHODS: We performed a systematic review of all clinical trials published between January 2004 and September 2015 describing the application of a mesh in the hiatal hernia repair during Nissen fundoplication for both GERD and hiatal hernia...

BACKGROUND: Diaphragmatic hernia is a potential complication of esophagectomy, which usually occurs as a hiatal hernia and more frequently after minimally invasive esophagectomy. Parahiatal hernia is a rare form of diaphragmatic hernia, and to the best of our knowledge, parahiatal hernia after esophagectomy has not been previously reported. Here, we report a case of parahiatal hernia after esophagectomy that was successfully managed laparoscopically. CASE PRESENTATION: A 73-year-old man underwent thoracoscopic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer with gastric tube reconstruction via the posterior mediastinum...

PURPOSE: Hiatal hernias are a common finding on radiographic or endoscopic studies. Hiatal hernias may become symptomatic or, less frequently, can incarcerate or become a volvulus leading to organ ischemia. This review examines latest evidence on the diagnostic workup and management of hiatal hernias. METHODS: A literature review of contemporary and latest studies with highest quality of evidence was completed. This information was examined and compiled in review format...

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) may exacerbate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients with a hiatal hernia (HH). Surgical repair may be needed, however prior LSG precludes standard HH repair with fundoplication. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed our experience with bariatric patients with prior LSG undergoing laparoscopic HH repair from August 2010 to July 2016. Patient demographics and outcomes including mortality, length of stay (LOS), readmission rates, reoperation, and complications were described...

Upside-down stomach is a relatively rare type of a large paraesophageal hernia characterized by the migration of the stomach into the posterior mediastinum. Upside-down stomach is prone to severe complications and therefore surgery is recommended even in asymptomatic patients. A 62-year-old male presented with frequent abdominal pain with nausea and vomiting that persisted for one year. The patient was obese with fatty liver and was treated medically for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) for 4 years. On upper gastrointestinal CT study a level-IV paraesophageal hernia was detected with upside-down stomach, and he was referred for elective surgery...

AIM: To present an experience of surgical treatment of hiatal hernia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An experience of more than thousand laparoscopic fundoplications in various modifications has been accumulated in the Clinic of Bashkir State Medical University for the period 2001-2016. RESULTS: An original device for intraoperative measurement of hiatal orifice is described. Hiatal orifice repair was indicated in case of its dimension over 3.5 cm...

BACKGROUND: Repair of giant paraesophageal hernia (PEH) is associated with a favorably high rate of symptom improvement; however, rates of recurrence by objective measures remain high. Herein we analyze our experience with laparoscopic giant PEH repair to determine what factors if any can predict anatomic recurrence. METHODS: We prospectively collected data on PEH characteristics, variations in operative techniques, and surgeon factors for 595 patients undergoing laparoscopic PEH repair from 2008 to 2015...

INTRODUCTION: There continues to be debate regarding the best surgical technique for the treatment of paraesophageal hernias. While laparoscopic and robotic approaches are widely employed around the world, the benefits of mesh use to reinforce hiatal closure are still not well established. The goal of this manuscript is to describe the currently available results with biologic and bioabsorbable meshes for treatment of paraesophageal hernias, particularly with reference to the rate of recurrence...

BACKGROUND: Video assessment is an emerging tool for understanding variation in surgical technique. METHODS: Representative videos of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) were voluntarily submitted by 20 surgeons who participated in a statewide quality improvement collaborative. The amount of time required to complete the salient steps of the operation was measured and variations in the tasks performed during each step were captured. RESULTS: Twenty-two videos of LSG were submitted and 11 videos included concurrent hiatal hernia repair...

BACKGROUND: Controversy exists as to whether routine preoperative esophagogastroduodenoscopy (p-OGD) in bariatric surgery should be routinely undertaken or undertaken selectively based on patients' symptoms. As very few studies have focused on the role of p-OGD prior to the increasingly common laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), we assessed the role/impact of p-OGD in LSG patients. METHODS: Retrospective review of records of all LSG patients operated upon at Hamad General Hospital, Qatar (2011-2014, n = 1555)...
