Abstract:
Laparoscopic approach to paraesophageal hernia repair is a recent application of minimally invasive videoscopic surgery. Procedures such as paraesophageal hernia repair with Nissen fundoplication that previously could only be performed as open techniques now can be performed laparoscopically. Laparoscopic approach of this major surgical repair benefits patients because of the reduced surgical time, decreased length of hospital stay, reduced hospital costs, and a reduction in loss of work time.
