- Abstract
Laparoscopic techniques have led to hiatal procedures being performed with less morbidity but higher failure rates. Biologic mesh (biomesh) has been proposed as an alternative to plastic mesh to achieve durable repairs while minimizing stricturing and erosion. This paper documents the lack of significant dysphagia after the placement of biomesh during hiatal hernia repair.
