A 74-year-old woman was admitted to Gunma University Hospital because of dysphagia symptoms. A gastrointestinal contrast study demonstrated a large esophageal hiatal sliding hernia affecting the passage of barium at the lower end of the esophagus. Manometric studies showed hypotensive pressure in the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and relaxation failure of the LES during swallowing. We diagnosed a combination of sliding hiatal hernia with nonspecific esophageal motility disorder (NEMD). Thoracoscopically assisted Heller myotomy and Dor fundoplication by abdominal open surgery were then performed. The patient is currently well and is free from dysphagia symptoms. Treatment with combination thoracoscopic and abdominal open surgery was effective. We report here the first case of combined hiatal hernia with NEMD treated by thoracoscopic and abdominal open surgery.
