Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted approaches to giant paraesophageal hernia have been considered safe and are associated with less morbidity and mortality. Limited data exist comparing the efficacy between laparoscopic and robotic-assisted giant paraesophageal hernia repairs, but the benefits of robotic surgery include superior optics and freedom of motion ...[more]
