Objective:
To investigate the effect and safety of laparoscopic treatment in patients with esophageal hiatal hernia.
Methods:

Two cases were treated by hernia repair merely and 9 cases were treated by hernia repair and fundoplication (Nissen's operation) one of which accepted laparoscopic cholecystoectomy at the same time.

The patients began to accept liquid diet 24 - 36 hours after operation. There was no postoperative complication and all the clinic symptoms disappeared. The mean hospitalization time was 8 days (6 - 15d).
