Large hiatus hernia requiring hiatoplasty - An ongoing challenge: A case series

Abstract

Evidence for the management of large hiatus herniae (HH) in children is lacking. Adult literature is conflicting with regard to risk vs. benefit profile of prosthetic mesh use; rates of dysphagia or recurrence are up to 25 % and 38 %, respectively. We aimed to assess the efficacy of using a biological tissue matrix to augment hiatoplasty.
