Abstract

Background: When an abdominal organ (usually the stomach) protrudes through the diaphragm along with the posterior mediastinum of the chest, this condition is known as a hiatal hernia. Acid in the back of the throat or heartburn are two signs of laryngopharyngeal reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Dysphagia and chest discomfort are two other symptoms. Aspiration, anemia from a lack of iron, & hernia strangulation are all possible complications. Age and weight are the most prevalent contributors to risk. Major trauma as well as particular surgeries also increase the danger. Aim and objectives: to compare the result of laparoscopic hiatal hernial repair with open repair as regard early postoperative recovery, short hospital stay, complications, recurrence rate and the more cosmetic. Subjects & methods: Our research is a prospective, randomized trial. Forty individuals with hiatus hernias participated in the study. People were hospitalized from Al-Azhar University Hospitals' surgical outpatient clinics. Result: the overall satisfaction rate of cosmetic appearance was 100% in group I & 40% in group II. A statistically significant change was observed amongst groups in the overall cosmetic satisfaction rate (Chi-square test, P = .000). Conclusion: laparoscopic repair for treatment of sliding hiatus hernia was associated with significantly lower ICU Time, Hospital Stay, oral Intake, and postoperative complications than open repair. The satisfaction of patients was higher after laparoscopic surgery compared to open repair.
