Abstract

Postempski first reported the repair of a wound of the diaphragm in 1889. Ackerlund described different types of paraesophageal hernia in 1926, and the first hiatal hernia repair (fundoplication) was reported by Nissen in 1955. Since then, Nissen fundoplication has gained wide acceptance and is now recognized as the operation of choice for antireflux surgery and, although technically challenging, laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair.
