Hiatal hernia as a cause of ileus - case report
A rare and serious complication of the paraesophageal hiatal hernia is the incarceration and ileus in which a surgery solution is indicated. The authors present a case report of a 91-year-old patient with a giant hiatal hernia complicated with incarceration and ileus, which was solved by laparoscopic hiatoplasty and fundoplication. The case report points to the possibility of resolving an acute state of laparoscopy with its undisputed benefits for the patient.
