ABSTRACT
Resumen El reparo de la hernia hiatal es un tema de debate debido a las posibles complicaciones asociadas que han cambiado a través de los años. En la literatura se reportan complicaciones asociadas al procedimiento hasta en un 30 % de los casos. Las complicaciones diferentes a la recurrencia y a largo plazo son infrecuentes, reportadas en menos del 9 % de los casos. La inclusión de la malla protésica en el esófago es una rara complicación y solo se han reportado pocos casos sobre esta. Entre los factores asociados a este desenlace se encuentran descritos: el material protésico, la técnica quirúrgica y la tensión de la malla sobre el tejido intervenido; sin embargo, es difícil establecer asociaciones directas de cada factor dado que la literatura actual solo cuenta con reportes de casos. A continuación, se muestra el caso clínico de un paciente, quien, después de una reparación de hernia hiatal con malla, presenta la inclusión de material protésico en el esófago; se aborda el diagnóstico y el manejo de la misma.
Abstract Hiatal hernia repair has been a subject of debate due to the possible associated complications that have changed over the years. The literature reports up to 30% of cases with complications associated with the procedure. Complications other than recurrence and long-term complications are rare and reported in less than 9% of cases. The migration of the prosthetic mesh into the esophagus is a rare complication and only a few cases have been reported. The factors associated with this outcome include prosthetic material, surgical technique, and mesh tension on the intervened tissue. However, it is difficult to establish direct associations of each factor since the current literature has only case reports. The following is a clinical case of a patient in whom the prosthetic material migrated into the esophagus after a hiatal hernia repair with mesh. The diagnosis and treatment offered are discussed.

Giant hiatal hernia (GHH) comprises 5% of hiatal hernia and is associated with significant complications. The traditional operative procedure, no matter transthoracic or transabdomen repair of giant hiatal hernia, is characteristic of more invasion and more complications. Although laparoscopic repair as a minimally invasive surgery is accepted, a part of patients can not tolerate pneumoperitoneum because of combination with cardiopulmonary diseases or severe posterior mediastinal and neck emphesema during operation. The aim of this article was to analyze our experience in gasless laparoscopic repair with abdominal wall lifting to treat the giant hiatal hernia. We performed a retrospective review of patients undergoing gasless laparoscopic repair of GHH with abdominal wall lifting from 2012 to 2015 at our institution. The GHH was defined as greater than one-third of the stomach in the chest. Gasless laparoscopic repair of GHH with abdominal wall lifting was attempted in 27 patients. Mean age was 67 years. The results showed that there were no conversions to open surgery and no intraoperative deaths. The mean duration of operation was 100 min (range: 90-130 min). One-side pleura was injured in 4 cases (14.8%). The mean postoperative length of stay was 4 days (range: 3-7 days). Median follow- up was 26 months (range: 6-38 months). Transient dysphagia for solid food occurred in three patients (11.1%), and this symptom disappeared within three months. There was one patient with recurrent hiatal hernia who was reoperated on. Two patients still complained of heartburn three months after surgery. Neither reoperation nor endoscopic treatment due to signs of postoperative esophageal stenosis was required in any patient. Totally, satisfactory outcome was reported in 88.9% patients. It was concluded that the gasless laparoscopic approach with abdominal wall lifting to the repair of GHH is feasible, safe, and effective for the patients who cannot tolerate the pneumoperitoneum.

Introducción: la hernia hiatal es una enfermedad adquirida y de las más frecuentes que afectan el aparato digestivo superior. El término hernia hiatal gigante se utiliza cuando el contenido de la hernia supera un tercio del estómago (30 por ciento en el tórax), o tienen un diámetro mayor de 5 cm. Objetivo: describir los resultados obtenidos en el tratamiento quirúrgico de la hernia hiatal gigante realizado por cirugía laparoscópica en el Centro Nacional de Cirugía de Mínimo Acceso. Métodos: se realizó un estudio retrospectivo, descriptivo y longitudinal, donde se incluyeron todos los pacientes intervenidos quirúrgicamente por hernia hiatal gigante en el Centro Nacional de Cirugía de Mínimo Acceso en el período comprendido entre enero de 2011 a diciembre de 2013. Resultados: la hernia tuvo un tamaño medio de 7 cm con rangos entre 6 y 15 cm. La técnica realizada con mayor frecuencia fue la herniorrafia hiatal más fundoplicatura de Nissen-Rossetti en 70 por ciento de los pacientes. Hubo 3 recidivas que requirieron reintervención y no hubo fallecidos. Conclusiones: la cirugía videolaparoscópica es la técnica de elección para el tratamiento de la hernia hiatal gigante, siempre que sea realizada por equipos quirúrgicos que tengan experiencia en procederes laparoscópicos de avanzada, lo que permite obtener resultados satisfactorios en cuanto a morbilidad y mortalidad(AU)
Introduction: hiatal hernia is an acquired disease and it is common in the upper gastrointestinal tract. The expression Giant hiatal hernia is called a hernia that exceeds one third of the stomach (30 por ciento in the thorax) and measures over 5cm diameter. Objective: to describe the results of the laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of giant hiatal hernias at the National Center of the Minimal Access Surgery. Methods: a retrospective, descriptive and longitudinal study was performed on patients with giant hiatal hernia and surgical treatment between January 2011 and December 2013 at the National Center for Minimal Access Surgery in Havana, Cuba. Results: the hernia size was 7 cm as average, ranging from 6 to 15 cm. The most used technique was hiatal herniorrhaphy plus Nissen-Rossetti funduplication in 70 por ciento of patients. There were 3 recurrences that required reoperation. No deaths were observed in this series. Conclusions: laparoscopic surgery is the best technique for the treatment of giant hiatal hernia, provided that the surgical teams have enough experience in advanced laparoscopic procedures, which can allow good results in terms of morbidity and mortality rates(AU)
