Schlosser KA, et al. - Researchers explored the trends and outcomes of mesh placement in patients who underwent paraesophageal hernia repair identified from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (2010–2017). They identified 25,801 paraesophageal hernia repair cases; of these, most were elective (89.3%), without mesh (61.9%), and performed laparoscopically (91.3%). Outcomes revealed no adverse outcomes in correlation to the placement of mesh during laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair. With no apparent adverse impact on short-term patient outcomes, a reduction in the use of mesh with laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair is noted.
