摘要

Background

Paraesophageal hernia (PEH) repair following sleeve gastrectomy is technically challenging due to altered anatomy, absence of the gastric fundus, and mesh-related complications at the hiatus. Autologous tissue reinforcement may provide a durable alternative.

Methods

We present a video article demonstrating laparoscopic PEH repair in a patient with prior sleeve gastrectomy, utilizing the ligamentum teres hepatis as a pedicled buttress for crural reinforcement.

Results

The hernia was successfully reduced, adequate intra-abdominal esophageal length was achieved, and posterior cruroplasty was reinforced using the ligamentum teres. The postoperative course was uneventful, with resolution of reflux symptoms and no early recurrence.

Conclusion

Ligamentum teres buttress is a safe, feasible, and mesh-free option for crural reinforcement in complex PEH repair after sleeve gastrectomy.
