Abstract：Objective To investigate the reliability and effectivity of laparoscopic repair of esophageal hiatal hernia using mesh combined with Toupet partial fundoplication. Methods From August 2006 to April 2009, 13 patients with esophageal hiatal hernia were treated by laparoscopic repair using mesh combined with Toupet partial fundoplication at PLA General Hospital. Results Twelve patients were completed under laparoscope successfully. One patient converted to open surgery. The operation time was 110 min (90-180 rain) and the blood loss volume was 50 mL (30-120 mL). Symptoms of 12 patients were relieved completely. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 6 day (3-30d).
