Outcomes after Laparoscopic Gastropexy as an Alternative for Paraesophageal Hernia Repair.

Conclusion: Laparoscopic PEH repair remains the standard of care for the management of giant PEH. However, a subcategory of patients with high operative risk could be candidates for a shorter operative intervention. As our data infers, LG is a reasonable alternative in this patient population. While the continued use of antisecretory medications is sometimes required, LG restores the ability to tolerate full meals without restrictions and results in excellent patient satisfaction.
