Abstract
Hiatal hernia (HH) is commonly detected during endoscopic examinations and is associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease. In recent years, there have been significant advancements in diagnosing and treating HH. Surgical techniques for HH repair include open surgery, various laparoscopic procedures, transoral incisionless fundoplication, and magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA). Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is often considered the standard for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease-related HH due to its effectiveness. Other procedures, such as Toupet and Dor fundoplications, may be suited for patients with specific conditions, such as impaired esophageal motility. Newer approaches, including the MSA system and mesh repair, focus on patient-specific treatments to achieve the best outcomes. This review synthesizes the literature from 2014 to 2024 to provide an overview of current trends in HH management.
