Diaphragmatic Crural Eversion: Mid-Term Data of a Novel Technique to Optimize Hiatoplasty during Laparoscopic Repair of Hiatal Hernia

Hiatoplasty is an essential component of laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair (LHHR).1 Suboptimal hiatoplasty is the most common cause for recurrence of hiatal hernia.2 The surgical emphasis for reconstruction of an antireflux barrier focused mainly on the creation of an ideal fundoplication, and littl...

Description
Summary:Hiatoplasty is an essential component of laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair (LHHR).1 Suboptimal hiatoplasty is the most common cause for recurrence of hiatal hernia.2 The surgical emphasis for reconstruction of an antireflux barrier focused mainly on the creation of an ideal fundoplication, and little attention was directed toward optimization of hiatoplasty. [...]endoscopic fundoplication does not require securing the wrap to the crura, which is a common practice in laparoscopic fundoplication. [...]TIF produces partial fundoplication with less side effects of dysphagia.
