Abstract

Regardless of symptoms, paraesophageal hiatal hernias should be repaired in order to prevent complications. This study reports the University of California San Francisco experience with laparoscopic repair of paraesophageal hiatal hernias, emphasizing the technical steps essential for good results. From May 1993 to September 1997, 55 patients, 27 women and 28 men, with a mean age of 67 years (range, 35-102 years) underwent laparoscopic repair of paraesophageal hernias at the University of California San Francisco. Symptoms, which had been present an average of 85 months before surgery, consisted mainly of pain (55%), heartburn (52%), dysphagia (45%), and regurgitation (41%). Of the four patients who presented with acute illness, two had gastric obstruction, one had severe dyspnea, and one had gastric bleeding. Endoscopy demonstrated esophagitis in 25 (69%) of 36 patients, and 24-hour pH-monitoring demonstrated acid reflux in 22 (67%) of 33 patients. Manometry detected severely impaired distal esophageal peristalsis in 17 (52%) of 33 patients. The preferred operation consisted of reduction of the hernia, excision of the sack and the gastric fat pad, closure of the enlarged hiatus without mesh, and construction of a fundoplicatio...Continue Reading
