Laparoscopic revision paraesophageal hernia repair: a 16-year experience at a single institution.

Laparoscopic revision PEHr is associated with a low rate of morbidity and mortality. Revision surgery may provide improvement in QOL outcomes, despite the high rate of long-term antireflux medication use. The rate of recurrent paraesophageal hernia remains low with few patients requiring a second revision. However, longer follow-up is needed to better characterize the long-term recurrence rate and symptomatic improvements.
