Although laparoscopic repair of type 3 paraesophageal hernias is safe and results in symptomatic relief, recent data have questioned the anatomic integrity of the laparoscopic approach. The reports document an asymptomatic recurrence rate as high as 42% with radiologic follow-up evaluation for type 3 paraesophageal hernias repaired laparoscopically. This disturbingly high recurrence rate has prompted the addition of an anterior gastropexy to our standard laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair.
