Effect of Hernia Sac Excision on Crural Tension in Paraesophageal Hernia Repair
Sponsor: Corewell Health West
Summary
Paraesophageal hernia can cause significant clinical symptoms, including reflux, chest pain, nausea, regurgitation, and even life threatening conditions such as bowel obstruction, and gastric volvulus. Repair of a paraesophageal hernia is associated with significant recurrence rate, with primary repair often in excess of 50%. Hernia recurrence and revisional surgery significantly increase the likelihood of complications and decreased quality of life.
