Hiatal hernia after open versus minimally invasive transthoracic oesophagectomy for cancer
The rate of HH was significantly lower in patients who underwent open oesophagectomy. Omentectomy may prevent postoesophagectomy HH as it was the only additional technical difference between the groups. Multicentric randomized clinical trials are needed to assess whether omentectomy during MIO may reduce the occurrence of paraconduit HH.
