Abstract

Laparoscopy has become the standard approach for management of most benign foregut disease including antireflux and hiatal hernia repair. Anatomic recurrence after repair of paraesophageal hernias is high, however, the clinical significance of such findings seems to be less relevant [1]. Reoperative foregut surgery has a significantly higher morbidity and mortality than their primary counterparts. Fortunately, recurrence leading to reintervention is far less common, with a 10 year cumulative risk close to 7% [2].
