Quality of life after giant hiatus hernia repair: A systematic review.

Background: Elective surgery is the treatment of choice for symptomatic giant hiatus hernia (GHH), and quality of life (QoL) has become an important outcome measure following surgery. The aim of this study is to review the literature assessing QoL following repair of GHH.

Methodology: A systematic literature search was performed by two reviewers independently to identify original studies evaluating QoL outcomes after GHH surgery.
