Necessity of fundoplication and mesh in the repair of the different types of paraesophageal hernia.

CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic PEH repair is a safe and efficacious procedure with no mortality and minimal early morbidity. The surgical repair of PEH should be adjusted to the type of PEH. However, up until now the literature fails to produce clear guidelines on when to perform a gastropexy or Nissen fundoplication and which patients might benefit from a mesh reinforcement.
