Abstract Aim To assess the anatomical and functional results of the use of a mesh for the repairing of hiatal hernia in patients with gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) Background & Methods In hiatal hernia repair during antireflux surgery, less focus has traditionally been directed towards the restoration of the diaphragmatic hiatus. In other types of hernia repair, the use of a mesh-reinforced, tension-free technique has been shown to be associated with reduced recurrence rates. Patients (n=159) undergoing Nissen fundoplication for gastro-esophageal reflux disease were randomized to closure of the diaphragmatic hiatus with either crural sutures alone (n=77) or tension-free closure with a non-absorbable mesh (Crurasoft®, n=82). Primary outcome was radiologically verified recurrent hiatal hernia. Secondary outcomes were intra-and postoperative complications and courses, symptomatic recurrence, use of PPI, postoperative oesophageal acid exposure and Quality of Life. Results At 3 years recurrence rates were 12 % and 9 % in the mesh and suture groups respectively (p=0,61). Control of GERD symptoms, use of PPI and oesophageal acid exposure did not differ between groups. At the same time obstructive eating complaints were reduced in both groups compared to the preoperative setting (p<0.05) but more patients scored dysphagia for solid food after mesh closure (p=0,027). Quality of life scores were significantly improved throughout the follow up without differences between groups. Conclusion Tension-free crural repair with non-absorbable mesh does not reduce the incidence of recurrent hiatal hernia compared to crural sutures alone in GERD patients undergoing total fundoplication. This, together with the finding of increased dysphagia at 3 years postoperatively, suggests that mesh closure cannot be recommended for routine use in laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair for GERD.

Abstract Purpose Trans-hiatal herniation after esophago-gastric surgery is a potentially severe complication due to the risk of bowel incarceration and cardiac or respiratory complaints. However, measures for prevention and treatment options are based on a single surgeon´s experiences and small case series in the literature. Methods Retrospective single-center analysis on patients who underwent surgical repair of trans-hiatal hernia following gastrectomy or esophagectomy from 01/2003 to 07/2020 regarding clinical symptoms, hernia characteristics, pre-operative imaging, hernia repair technique and perioperative outcome. Results Trans-hiatal hernia repair was performed in 9 patients following abdomino-thoracic esophagectomy (40.9%), in 8 patients following trans-hiatal esophagectomy (36.4%) and in 5 patients following conventional gastrectomy (22.7%). Gastrointestinal symptoms with bowel obstruction and pain were mostly prevalent (63.6 and 59.1%, respectively), two patients were asymptomatic. Transverse colon (54.5%) and small intestine (77.3%) most frequently prolapsed into the left chest after esophagectomy (88.2%) and into the dorsal mediastinum after gastrectomy (60.0%). Half of the patients had signs of incarceration in pre-operative imaging, 10 patients underwent emergency surgery. However, bowel resection was only necessary in one patient. Hernia repair was performed by suture cruroplasty without (n = 12) or with mesh reinforcement (n = 5) or tension-free mesh interposition (n = 5). Postoperative pleural complications were most frequently observed, especially in patients who underwent any kind of mesh repair. Three patients developed recurrency, of whom two underwent again surgical repair. Conclusion Trans-hiatal herniation after esophago-gastric surgery is rare but relevant. The role of surgical repair in asymptomatic patients is disputed. However, early hernia repair prevents patients from severe complications. Measures for prevention and adequate closure techniques are not yet defined.
