Laparoscopic Reflux/Hiatal Hernia Repair
Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a widespread condition presenting with heartburn, regurgitation, hoarseness and pain or difficulty with swallowing food. It is a result of dysfunction of the normal valve mechanism at the junction of the esophagus and stomach. It is often associated with hiatal hernia of variable degree. When the stomach is displaced into the chest it can cause nausea, vomiting, pain after eating or progressive inability to swallow food.

Laparoscopic Primary/Incisional Hernia Repair
Minimally invasive approach to a variety of primary abdominal wall hernias (ventral, umbilical, inguinal or groin hernia) has gained wide acceptance in recent years. It allows more controlled repair of the hernia, since a defect in a strong layer of abdominal wall is more visible than with open surgery; thisallows to detect obscured multiple hernias as well as shortening the recovery. Certainly as far as ventral incisional hernia is concerned – laparoscopic approach becomes far superior to open repair and is associated with lowest risk of recurrence and complications.
