Principles of prevention of complications in laparoscopic elimination of giant hiatal hernias

Introduction: minimally invasive surgery is a priority area of medicine. It significantly reduce the surgical trauma, the duration of the operation and the number of complications. Laparoscopic surgeries are becoming central to the treatment of giant hiatal hernia and reflux disease. Laparoscopic elimination of hiatal hernia, cruroraphy, Nissen fundoplication with giant hiatal hernia is associated with a high risk of complications.Materials and Methods: or the period from January 1, 2019 to October 1, 2020, 26 patients with giant hiatal hernia were operated in a surgical hospital. He underwent laparoscopic removal of the hiatal hernia, cruroraphy, and Nissen fundoplication.Results: all patients were discharged home in satisfactory condition. There are no postoperative complications and deaths. According to the observation data, there are no recurrences of giant hiatal hernia in these patients. The period of stay of such patients in the hospital did not exceed 4 days.Discussion: formidable complications can develop when performing these operations. The technical principles developed by us make it possible to safely perform laparoscopic elimination of the hiatal hernia, cruroraphy and Nissen fundoplication with giant hiatal hernia.Conclusion: The clinical experience and the developed principles of performing laparoscopic elimination of giant hiatal hernia are presented. It is necessary to continue the study and systematization for this group of patients.
