| paraesophageal hernia |
This occurs when the stomach twists upon itself and moves into the chest alongside the esophagus. Patients may have difficulty swallowing or reflux symptoms. There is a risk for the stomach to loose its blood flow and potentially rupture. If patients have symptoms these should be repaired laparoscopically. Repair by the traditional method through the chest can result in tremendous morbidity.
