Excerpt

Obesity is an independent risk factor for hiatal hernia (HH) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) [1]. The prevalence of HH in morbidly obese individuals is nearly 40%, while it varies from 2 to 22% in the general population [2]. In the setting of a bariatric procedure, a hiatal defect must be taken into consideration, preoperatively and during the procedure. The feasibility of concurrent HH repair and bariatric surgery has been proven before [3]. However, it could be argued that these patients have an increased risk of postoperative complications, especially after Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB). Several complications have been reported, but early hiatal herniation of the gastric remnant has not been described. …
