Abstract

Repair of a hiatal hernia during laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding is advisable; however, the practice of more active esophageal hiatus exploration and repair has been promoted with an expectation of reducing proximal gastric pouch distension (PPD). Our objective was to explore the relationship between crural exploration and repair (CR) and PPD in a private practice in Canada.
