Objectives.
Nonreinforced tensile repair of giant hiatal hernias is susceptible to recurrence, and the role of mesh graft implantation remains controversial.
Creating a new and viable choice without the use of high-cost biological allografts is desirable.
This study presents the application of dermis graft reinforcement, a cost-efficient, easily adaptable alternative, in graft reinforcement of giant hiatal hernia repairs.
Methods.
A 62-year-old female patient with recurrent giant hiatal hernia (9 × 11 cm) and upside down stomach, immediately following the Belsey repair done in another department, was selected for the pilot procedure.
The standard three-stitch nonabsorbable reconstruction of diaphragmatic crura was undertaken via laparoscopic approach.
A 12 × 6 cm dermis autograft was harvested from the loose abdominal skin.
“U” figure onlay reinforcement of diaphragm closure was secured with titanium staples.
The procedure was completed with a standard Dor fundoplication.
One- and seven-month follow-ups were conducted.
Results.
No short-term postoperative complications were observed.
One-month follow-up showed normal anatomical location of abdominal viscera on computed tomography imaging.
High-resolution manometry showed normal lower esophageal sphincter pressure.
Preoperative abdominal complaints were resolved.
Procedural costs were lower than the average cost following mesh graft reinforcement.
Conclusion.
Dermis graft reinforcement is a cheap, easily adaptable procedure in the repair of giant hiatal hernias, even in the setting of laparoscopic reoperative procedure.
