Surgical Repair of Giant Type IV Hiatal Hernia

In this case report, we described a 74-year-old female patient with major complaint of respiratory problemsdyspnea after meal. Chest X-ray of the patient revealed a  gianttype IV hiatal hernia. Preoperative evaluations of the patient included esophagoscopy, esophageal manometry, barium swallow, and CT-scan. Repair of the hernia was performed using a dual mesh on the diaphragm and partial anteri...

Biologic Keyhole Mesh in Hiatal Hernia Repair

Background and Objectives Laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair (LPEHR) is the new standard, but the use of mesh is still debated. Biologic mesh has shown great promise, but only the U-shaped onlay has been extensively studied. Postoperative dysphagia has historically been a concern with the use of synthetic keyhole mesh and subsequently slowed its adoption. The purpose of our study was to ...

Robotic repair of congenital paraesophageal hiatal hernia.

Congenital paraesophageal hiatal hernias are rare and can be associated with gastric incarceration, volvulus,mucosal ulceration, and anemia. Primary repair of the hernia and fundoplication are recommended. In this paper,we report a case of a 3-year-old child with abdominal pain who was noted to have a paraesophageal hiatal hernia with partial gastric volvulus. A 5 mm robot platform was utilized...

Dysphagia after Hiatal Hernia Correction

The gastroesophageal reflux disease is chronic and common condition that affects about 10% of the population in general22 and corresponds to about 75% of esophageal disorders, with a progressive increase in incidence over the years18. Surgical treatment is permanent, in most cases, since the fundoplication restores the competence of the lower esophageal sphincter and the hiatoplasty reduces and...
