Laparoscopic repair of large hiatal hernia with polytetrafluoroethylene

Abstract: On the basis of these preliminary results it appears that repair with PTFE may confer an advantage, with lower rates of recurrence in patients with large hiatal hernia defects.

“…Frantzides et al [15] suggest a prosthetic PTFE reinforcement of posterior cruroplasty in large hiatal defects (>8 cm), demonstrating its superiority compared to primary closure alone [8]. Some authors who have described laparoscopic hiatus hernia repair with a prosthetic mesh used a``tension-free'' repair, in which the defect is left open and the prosthetis bridges the gap [5,11,21,27].…”

“…From its first description in 1991 the laparoscopic management of GERD has been developed and described in several studies as effective and safe technique with excellent functional results and improved quality of life. 2.3 The laparoscopic antireflux operation has shown excellent clinical results in 85 to 95% of cases beyond the reduction in mortality when compared to conventional technique 10,11,12,21 . Despite the excellent results, there are some reports of increased postoperative complications in laparoscopic technique 1 Failures caused by triggered it can generate the persistence of reflux symptoms or the development of dysphagia, flatulence or diarrhea, which may become necessary the need for surgical rapprochement 15 .…”
