Hiatal hernia recurrence after laparoscopic fundoplication

Gastric volvulus after laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication and hiatal closure performed due to giant hiatal hernia: A case report

Introduction: More fundoplications are done because laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is less invasive than open surgery. Although recovery after laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is faster, and complications are fewer, than after open procedures, some potentially life-threatening complications can arise. Acute gastric volvulus is one of these and, because it is not a frequent event, its diag...

Laparoscopic Fundoplication with Mesh Repair of a Large Type Iii Hiatal Hernia

Mixed (type III) hiatal hernias – with sliding and paraesophageal components – are uncommon, accounting for 10-15% of all hiatal hernias. Symptoms are that of gastroesophageal reflux disease. The paraesophageal hernia may get incarcerated and present as an emergency. We present a 50-year old patient with symptoms of severe reflux disease who was diagnosed with type III hiatus hernia. Laparoscop...

Laparoscopic refundoplication with prosthetic hiatal closure for recurrent hiatal hernia after primary failed antireflux surgery.

BACKGROUND One of the most frequent complications after laparoscopic antireflux surgery is estimated to be the intrathoracic herniation of the wrap into the chest. Therefore, in up to 5% of patients, revisional surgery is necessary. HYPOTHESIS Patients who undergo laparoscopic refundoplication for postoperative intrathoracic wrap herniation using a circular polypropylene mesh for hiatal closu...

Paraesophageal hiatal hernia. Open vs. laparoscopic surgery.

BACKGROUND paraesophageal hiatal hernia represents 5-10% of hiatal hernias. Its importance is based on the severe complications it may have, including gastric volvulus, and surgical treatment is recommended when a diagnosis is established. MATERIAL AND METHODS a retrospective study of all patients who underwent surgery for paresophageal hernia between 1985 and 2007. RESULTS we studied 90 ca...
