lüll Surgical treatment of para-oesophageal hiatal hernia Rogers ML; Duffy JP; Beggs FD; Salama FD; Knowles KR; Morgan WEAnn R Coll Surg Engl 2001[Nov]; 83 (6): 394-8The development of laparoscopic antireflux surgery has stimulated interest in laparoscopic para-oesophageal hiatal hernia repair. This review of our practice over 10 years using a standard transthoracic technique was undertaken to establish the safety and effectiveness of the open technique to allow comparison. Sixty patients with para-oesophageal hiatal hernia were operated on between 1989 and 1999. There were 38 women and 22 men with a median age of 69.5 years. There were 47 elective and 13 emergency presentations. Operation consisted of a left thoracotomy, hernia reduction and crural repair. An antireflux procedure was added in selected patients. There were no deaths among the elective cases and one among the emergency cases. Median follow-up time was 19 months. There was one recurrence (1.5%). Seven patients (12%) required a single oesophagoscopy and dilatation up to 2 years postoperatively but have been asymptomatic since. Two patients (3%) developed symptomatic reflux which has been well controlled on proton-pump inhibitors. Transthoracic para-oesophageal hernia repair can be safely performed with minimal recurrence.|Adult[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Aged, 80 and over[MESH]|Emergencies[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Follow-Up Studies[MESH]|Hernia, Hiatal/diagnosis/*surgery[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Laparoscopy[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Recurrence[MESH]|Retrospective Studies[MESH]|Thoracotomy[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH] |
