This video tutorial presents the laparoscopic repair of a post-oesophagectomy hiatal hernia in a 69-year-old patient who had an oesophagectomy 5 years previously for distal oesophageal cancer. He presented acutely with epigastric pain, nausea and hiccups. During the operation, the herniated small bowel was reduced and found to be viable. The defect was sealed by suturing the conduit to the diaphragm. At a follow-up examination 23 months after the repair, the patient is asymptomatic and there is no evidence of recurrence.

Repair of a paraconduit hernia post oesophagectomy can be challenging. We present a safe and effective method of left hiatoplasty which is feasible in the majority of cases, achieving primary no-mesh repair while protecting the gastric conduit. Operative photos and videos describe the technique and key considerations.

Diaphragmatic hiatal hernia is a potential complication of oesophagectomy in cancer patients. Over the past decades, laparoscopy has become the preferred approach to repairing this condition due to the reduced morbidity, faster recovery and shorter hospital stay when compared with traditional open surgery. The development of robotic technology has added to the benefits of minimally invasive approaches, offering potential technical advantages and overcoming some limitations of traditional laparoscopic techniques when performing complex procedures.

Objectives: Gastric emptying delay after oesophagectomy may occur in conduits exposed to pleural forces of respiration or anatomic obstruction. Remedial operations addressing both causes are rarely reported. The study aim was to categorize severe gastric conduit obstruction (GCO) and report the outcome of surgical revision.
