    Surgical repair of hiatal hernia yields excellent long-term outcomes, with 96% of patients showing good clinical results after antireflux procedures. Careful patient selection and tailored surgical techniques are key to successful hiatal hernia treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Hiatal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure.
    • Antireflux operations are frequently employed to address associated gastroesophageal reflux disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes of surgically treated hiatal hernia patients.
    • To assess the efficacy of various antireflux procedures and refine surgical principles.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 68 hiatal hernia patients.
    • Follow-up included endoscopy, cineradiography, and intraluminal pH monitoring.
    • Analysis of primary and late clinical results, including mortality and need for secondary operations.

    Main Results:

    • Overall clinical success rate of 96% (excluding 3% primary mortality).

  • 89% good primary results after antireflux procedures.
  • Secondary operations were necessary in some cases to achieve optimal outcomes.

    • Conclusions:

    • Surgical repair of hiatal hernia, particularly with antireflux procedures, offers high long-term success rates.
    • Tailored surgical approaches based on patient risk, acidity, and esophageal condition are crucial.
    • Specific principles for Belsey Mark IV, transabdominal fundoplication with vagotomy, and management of esophageal strictures are outlined.
