This video shows the laparoscopic repair of a large type III paraesophageal hernia in a 55-year-old woman. After dissection of the hernia sac, partial resection is performed. Very high intramediastinal dissection of the esophagus is performed, taking special care not to injure the posterior and anterior vagal trunk. First, as the hiatal defect is very large, a right relaxing incision is performed. The crural repair is performed by interrupted Ethibond® 2/0 stitches buttressed with a polypropylene mesh. Finally, the diaphragmatic defect is covered with a non-reabsorbable mesh (Physiomesh™) and a 180-degree posterior fundoplication is performed.
