Abstract
The breakdown of crural repair occurs in 6–40% of laparoscopic hiatal surgery [5, 17] and often leads to recurrence with intrathoracic wrap migration or para-oesophageal herniation. In order to prevent this complication, various surgeons attempt to reinforce the repair or patch the unsutured crural defect with prosthetic material.
