An Initial Experience with and Safety of a Novel Approach to Treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
George H Pfaltzgraff, MD, FACS. Ellsworth Municipal Hospital. Introduction The hypothesis that there could be a minimally invasive, safe operation with few side effects, and few failed hiatal hernia repairs led to the use of a combination of laparoscopic anterior hiatal hernioplasty with the Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication. This was evaluated in a single center,… Continue Reading
Assessment and Reduction of Diaphragmatic Tension During Hiatal Hernia Repair
Brian E Louie, MD, Daniel Davila Bradley, MD, Peter Baik, MD, Alexander S Farivar, MD, Ralph W Aye, MD. Swedish Cancer Institute and Medical Center.

Concurrent Laparoscopic Paraesophageal Hernia Repair with Subtotal Gastrectomy and D2 Lymphadenectomy
Carmen L Mueller, MD, Lorenzo E Ferri, MD, PHD. Montreal General Hospital, McGill University Health Centre. The laparoscopic, transabdominal approach has become a standard technique for paraesophageal hernia repair, and laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy has been shown to have equivalent oncologic outcomes to open surgery. The concurrent existence of both surgical problems in… Continue Reading
