Laparoscopic hernioplasty of hiatal hernia

Laparoscopic hernioplasty of hiatal hernia has been confirmed effective and safe in recent years and performed more due to its mini-invasive nature and intraperitoneal view and operating angle (1,2). However, it is still a kind of difficult surgery in the field of hernia surgery that requires a good understanding of the surrounding anatomy of the gastroesophageal junction and esophageal hiatus as well as precise operation (3). Sufficient dissection and exposure of the operating field, application of mesh and fundoplication are some key issues in these operations (4-11).
