Hiatal hernias occur when abdominal contents protrude into the posterior mediastinum through the esophageal hiatus of the diaphragm. They are classified into four types, with Type I (sliding) being the most prevalent. We report a case of a patient diagnosed with a large Type IV paraesophageal hernia.

The utilization of transthoracic approaches for the repair of large hiatus hernias remains a topic of clinical debate. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and recovery metrics for transthoracic hiatal hernia repair. A literature search was conducted using the key terms "hiatus hernia," "thoracotomy," "thoracic approach," and "Belsey Mark IV.

The optimal treatment for paraesophageal hiatus hernia (PEH) is controversial. While crural buttressing with mesh shows promises in reducing recurrences, the decision to use mesh during minimally invasive PEH repair is largely subjective. Due to these uncertainties, we conducted a survey to examine current clinical practices among surgeons and to assess which are the most important determinants in the decision-making process for mesh placement.

Background: Hiatal and paraesophageal hernia (HH/PEH) recurrence is the most common cause of failure after gastroesophageal anti-reflux surgery. Crural reinforcement with mesh has been suggested to address this issue, but its efficacy remains debated. In this study, we aimed to determine the impact of biosynthetic mesh reinforcement compared to suture cruroplasty on anatomic and symptomatic hernia recurrence.
