Abstract

Laparoscopic repair of a paraesophageal hernia (in which the fundus of the stomach herniates up through the hiatus, but the gastroesophageal junction remains in the usual position) is described in this chapter. The chapter also includes information on preoperative preparation, pitfalls and danger points, operative strategy, and identification of complications. Step-by-step technical instructions, supplemented by operative photographs, are included. The chapter concludes with a list of selected references.
