We describe the first experience in Italy with a new pre-cut composite polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/expanded PTFE (ePTFE) prosthesis designed for the hiatal region. A 78-year-old female patient with a large paraesophageal hiatal hernia with migration of the left transverse colon inside the hiatal defect (type IV hernia) received laparoscopic repair by means of the composite V-shaped mesh. The procedure was completed laparoscopically and a partial fundoplication was performed. A favorable outcome was assessed by barium swallow radiograms performed on postoperative day 7. A complete resolution of the symptoms was noted at follow-up 1 month postoperatively. This report confirms the feasibility, effectiveness, and added advantages of the composite V-shaped mesh in tension-free repair of a large hiatal hernia.

Methods: Thirteen patients who underwent recurrent hiatal hernia repairs at our hospital between 2018 and 2024 were reviewed retrospectively.

Introduction: This case report presents a rare occurrence of Type III Congenital Paraesophageal Hiatal Hernia (CPEHH) with Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis (IHPS) in a 28-day-old neonate. However, this unusual combination poses significant diagnostic and surgical challenges.

Data on Barrett's esophagus (BE) and esophageal cancer (EC) outcomes in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are limited. We aimed to determine the risk of prevalent BE (<1 year after endoscopy), incident BE (≥1 year after endoscopy), and incident EC in patients with versus without EoE, and to identify predictors of BE/EC in EoE patients. We identified adult patients in the Merative MarketScan Database who underwent first-time upper endoscopy between 2008 and 2020.

Background: Surgical fundoplication remains integral in managing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by addressing gastroesophageal valve incompetence. This study introduces a novel hybrid approach, the Eversion Cruroplasty and Collar Overwrap (ECCO) procedure, aiming to combine benefits of conventional partial wrapping and posteromedial cardiopexy, considering gastric fundus anatomical peculiarities as an anti-reflux barrier.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of pediatric patients presenting with refractory GERD from 2021 to 2023 was conducted.
Benign, but Ominous, Pseudotumor in the Post-Sleeve Gastrectomy Hiatal Hernia: A Case Series.

We have incidentally observed a finding not yet described in the literature, on both cross-sectional imaging and fluoroscopy, to correlate with increased obstructive symptoms in our post sleeve gastrectomy patients. This case series aims to show postsurgical imaging cases with the common underlying finding of a pseudotumor associated with hiatal herniae and obstructive symptoms. Because this clinical presentation may, in some cases, warrant postsurgical revision, knowledge of the imaging findings and their potential clinical significance is useful to radiologists who interpret routine cross-sectional imaging examinations as well as fluoroscopic evaluations of these post sleeve gastrectomy patients.
