Robotic Repair of a Paraesophageal Hernia After an Open Nissen Fundoplication: Case Presentation and Clinical Discussion.

We present a female in her sixties with a recurrent paraesophageal hernia status post open Nissen fundoplication and multiple esophageal dilations who underwent a robotic paraesophageal hernia repair, with extensive lysis of adhesions. The stomach and esophagus were dissected off the crura and the previous wrap was undone. Once the entirety of the stomach and esophagus were freed from their surrounding structures, the hernia sac was able to be excised.
