Abstract

Paraesophageal hernias frequently present in an elderly population. Laparoscopic repair was performed in two patients. Each patient had an uncomplicated postop course with complete relief of their symptoms. The surgical technique utilized is presented. Laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair offers an alternative procedure to a group of patients who may at times be at increased risk for complications associated with traditional open approaches.
