Type I hiatal hernia is associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in 50–90% of cases. Several trials strongly support surgery as an effective alternative to medical therapy. Today, laparoscopic fundoplication is considered as the procedure of choice. However, primary laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair is associated with upto 42% recurrence rate. Mesh reinforcement of the crural closure decreases the recurrence but can lead to complications, above all nonabsorbable ones. We experiment a new totally absorbable mesh by Gore.Case. We present a case of a 65-year-old female patient with a 6-year classic history of GERD. Endoscopy revealed a large hiatal hernia and esophagitis. pH study was positive for acid reflux; esophageal manometry revealed LES intrathoracic dislocation. With laparoscopic approach, the hiatal hernia defect was identified and primarily repaired, by crural closure. Gore Bio-A Tissue Reinforcement was trimmed to fit the defect accommodating the esophagus. Nissen fundoplication was performed.Result. Bio-A mesh was easily placed laparoscopically. It has good handling and could be cut and tailored intraoperatively for optimal adaptation. There were no short-term complications.Conclusion. Crural closure reinforcement can be done readily with this new totally absorbable mesh replaced by soft tissue over six months. However, further data and studies are needed to evaluate long-term outcomes.

Abstract   Laparoscopic hiatoplasty and fundoplication is the gold standard of surgical treatment of GERD and hiatal hernia. However, the main drawback of laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair is a substantial recurrence rate. Hence, prosthetic meshs have been used to reduce the risk for recurrence. But meshs may cause major complications. As a consequence we adopted the hepatic shoulder plasty described by Quilici to augment the hiatal hernia repair in patients with a high risk for hernia recurrence. Methods Patients with large (>4 cm) axial hiatal hernia, giant paraesophageal or with recurrent hernia consecutively underwent laparoscopic hernia repair with crural sutures and hepatic shoulder plasty. A Toupet or a floppy Nissen fundoplication was added. In patients with giant paraesophageal hernia the hernia sack was resected. Perioperative complications were recorded. Follow-up comprised endoscopy and/or radiography and QoL-evaluation with the Eypasch score (GIQLI). Results Between 2012 and 2018 51 patients (mean age 71 years, 65% female) underwent Quilici’s procedure. Among them 33,3% had one or more previous hiatal hernia repair. There were no conversions. Postoperative complication rate was 7.8%. At follow-up after 2 years 6 recurrences (12%) were encountered, 4 of them were symptomatic (8%). One patient underwent reoperation due to hernia recurrence. In 84% QoL was significantly improved at follow-up. Conclusion In patients with high risk of recurrence, biological augmentation of the hiatal closure with the left lobe of the liver may be a valuable alternative to prosthetic reinforcement. We observed no complication attributable to liver lobe transposition.
