Abstract

AREVALO, Cáterin et al. Literature Review: A Surgeon’s View of Recurrent Hiatal Hernia. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2015, vol.30, n.4, pp.447-455. ISSN 0120-9957.

Recurrent hiatal hernias are a common pathology that generate a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for surgeons and gastroenterologists. They are generally asymptomatic or present with atypical symptoms and are associated with the patient’s own physiological factors and the surgical technique. Treatment is complex and, depending on the cause of the symptoms, will require either medical or surgical management. This article starts from a surgical approach to define guidelines for identification and management of this condition and to establish keys to treatment

Keywords : Hiatal hernia; recurrent hiatal hernia; laparoscopy.
