paraesophageal hernias
“up-side down” stomach
Our goals of using a mesh has always been to guarantee that there will be no complications related to the prosthetic materials, avoiding recurrences at the same time. In order to avoid these complications, that might lead to reoperations, we follow the next considerations:
– In order to avoid stenosis, we never place the mesh
around the esophagus since most of the meshes show some degree of shrinking. For this reason, we place the mesh behind the esophagus with the lateral part covering both crura.
– On the other hand, one of the key steps to avoid mesh
extruction into the esophagus is to avoid the direct con­tact of the mesh with it. For this reason, the mesh is fixed to the crura with just one or two stitches and fibrin glue, which will cover the whole mesh, especially in the area where the prosthetic material is in close contact with the esophagus. Fibrin glue will maintain the mesh in place and it will create natural tissue that will cover the mesh avoiding direct contact between the esophagus and the mesh.

6.2.2 Patient and Trocars’ Position

The patient is placed in supine decubitus position, and five trocars are placed (Fig. 6.1).
6.2.3 Reduction of the Sac and Its Contents
to the Abdominal Cavity
Reduce completely as it can or as much as possible the con­tents of the hernia to the abdominal cavity (Fig. 6.2):
– Make traction of the stomach toward the right leg of the
patient. – Start dissection at the left crus, cutting the peritoneum at
the rim of the crus (this is the limit of the incision along
the hiatus).
In large paraesophageal hernias where the reduction of the contents of the hernia is not complete, pull down the sac with the herniated stomach.

6.2 Description of the Surgical Technique (Video 6.1)

6.2.1 Instruments and Equipment Required

Five trocars are placed to perform this surgical proce-
dure: two 10–11 mm trocars, for the camera and for the right working hand of the surgeon to introduce the energy device and the sutures, and three 5 mm trocars, for the left hand of the surgeon and for the assistant to retract the liver and to pull the stomach
A 10 mm 30º scope
As energy devices, we prefer to use the ultrasonic scalpel
Conventional laparoscopic instruments, including
endograspers, endoscissors, and endodissectors
An endograsper to retract the liver
Endostitch® suturing devices
Suture: surgidac® 2/0
Mesh: Omyra® or BioA® mesh, depending on the size of
the hernia as it has been previously mentioned
Fibrin glue and its spray applicator

6.2.4 Division of the First Short Vessels

Transect the first short vessels to reach the bottom of the left crus (Fig. 6.3).

6.2.5 Dissection of the Sac, from the Left Crus Anti-Clockwise from Left to Right

Look for the surgical plane between the sac and the pleura and continue anti-clockwise while reducing the sac by pull­ing down (Fig. 6.4).

6.2.6 Dissection Continues to the Dome of the Hiatus and the Right Crus

Maintain the traction of the sac, continue anti-clockwise, cut­ting the peritoneum at the rim of the hiatus and complete the reduction of the sac until the bottom of the right crus (Fig. 6.5).

short vessels. Schematic (a) and close view (b)

6.2.7 The Sac (and Lipomas) is Completely Dissected from Mediastinum into the Abdominal Cavity

Adhesions of the sac to the pleura are completely released and the sac and lipomas are completely descended to the abdominal cavity (Fig. 6.5). The sac is only excised if it is needed to create the fundoplication later.

6.2.8 Mobilization of the Esophagus by Pulling Down the Sac

If the sac is reduced from mediastinum, the esophagus is dissected free from the sac (Fig. 6.6). The distal esophagus is mobilized from the mediastinum, blunt dissection and ultrasonic scalpel, in order to have enough length to come free in the abdomen.

6.2.9 Creation of a Retroesophageal Window

Creation of a retroesophageal window and to obtain a correct traction of the gastro-esophageal junction to the abdominal cavity with a goldfinger device (Fig. 6.7).

6.2.10 Approximation of the Pillars Using a Bougie (Foucher) for Calibration

In this step, a 32 Foucher is placed inside the esophagus as tutor.
From the bottom of the crura where both join together in order to decrease the tension when closing them (Fig. 6.8). Non-absorbable sutures that include the perimysium of the hiatal muscle, preserved during the dissection.
First stich must be placed down at the junction of both crura (Fig. 6.8). First two stitches are placed posteriorly to the esophagus and the third one anteriorly before to con­tinue with posterior sutures combined with some anterior sutures when needed.
In order to close the hernia hole correctly, anterior suture of the crura is required in many cases (Fig. 6.9).

6.2.11 Mesh Placement

A “U” shaped mesh is placed, and fixed with two stitches to the crura. Biological glue can also be used, as alternative, to fix the mesh (Fig. 6.10).

6.2.12 Creation of 360 Degrees Fundoplication

Pull through the fundus behind the esophagus (retroesopha­geal window), to the right side. Create the fundoplication by two or three fundus-to-fundus stitches, embracing the intra-abdominal portion of the esophagus. In this way, a 360 degree fundoplication is performed (Fig. 6.11).

Minimally Invasive Treatment of Esophageal Leiomyoma

Donald. L. van der Peet and Miguel A. Cuesta

7.1 Introduction

Benign tumors of the esophagus are rare tumors, being around 1% of all esophageal tumors. In children, cysts and duplications cysts are rare congenital disorders of the fore­gut. In adults, the most frequent benign esophageal tumor is the leiomyoma, submucosal located and formed by smooth muscular fibers. They are most frequently located in the lower and mid esophagus. Asymptomatic tumors are diag­nosed during routine endoscopic examination or CT scan performed for other reasons such as gastroesophageal reflux or chest complaints. Symptoms are dysphagia, chest dis­comfort or pain, regurgitation, and weight loss [1].
Initial diagnosis is the endoscopic examination where the diagnosis of intramural tumor (bulge) with intact mucosa can be diagnosed. Endoscopic ultrasonography can confirm the diagnosis of benign intramural tumor, penetra­tion in the esophageal wall, and size of the tumor. CT scan and barium swallow can help to locate the tumor and visu­alize its extension. Fine needle aspiration biopsy can con­firm the smooth muscular fibers of the tumor, but its value remains controversial because of the difficulty of the diag­nosis and the fibrosis that can produce making enucleation difficult. Differential diagnosis with GIST (gastrointestinal stromal tumors) tumors may be difficult. Esophageal GIST are very rare. PET scan can help to differentiate between the two, the leiomyoma showing a negative PET scan image.
In some cases, where the tumor is small and the diag­nosis is certain, without symptomatology, the patient can be followed conservatively. Symptomatic tumors, tumors
with uncertain diagnosis, and large size tumors should be resected. In small tumors, endoscopic treatment is possible and POEM (per oral endoscopic myotomy) treatment is one of the treatment modalities. Enucleation via thoracoscopy is the choice approach, lateral or in prone, depending on the side of thoracoscopy, the location of the tumor. Concerning the size of the tumor, it can be classified as small between 2 and 5 cm, and large more than 5 cm. Both can be treated by thoracoscopic enucleation [2], being very large tumors dif­ficult to manipulate during the enucleation. Lesions of the mucosa have to be repaired and covered by muscu­lar layer. Robot-assisted thoracoscopy can help to dissect the large tumors [3]. If enucleation is not technically pos­sible, esophageal resection should be considered. Tumors located in the very distal part of the esophagus should be approached by laparoscopy [4, 5].

7.2 Description of the Surgical Technique (See Videos 7.1 and 7.2)

If the tumor is located in the thoracic esophagus, two types of enucleation can be considered in relation with the size of the tumor: relative small size (2–5 cm) and giant leiomy­oma (between 5 and 10 cm). We approach these tumors by thoracoscopy in prone, depending on the side of the thora­coscopy where the tumor is located, right or left.
The key steps to perform a thoracoscopic tumor resec-
tion are:
1. Trocar placement. Thoracoscopy in prone position

Three or four trocars are placed along the scapula. Single intubation and thoracic insufflation (7–8 mm Hg). Trocars: 10 mm in the tip of the scapula for the 30 degrees laparo­scope, two work trocars: 5 mm in the 4th intercostal space and 10 mm in the 7th intercostal space. Another 5 mm may be used for the assistant, placed in the 3rd intercostal space (Fig. 7.1).

2. Localization of tumor
Localize the leiomyoma by visualization (Fig. 7.2) and if needed by endoscopy.
3. Opening the pleura along the tumor
Open the pleura longitudinally along the tumor (Fig. 7.3). Due to the localization of the tumor, in this case, the azygos vein arch is divided.
4. Dissection of the tumor
We recommend to start the dissection around the tumor, splitting muscular fibers (Fig. 7.4).
5. Retraction by stitch
Put a stitch through the tumor in order to pull it (Fig. 7.5), helping for the blunt dissection, trying always to preserve the integrity of the mucosa.
6. Mucosa inspection and if needed repair
At the end, it is necessary to check the mucosa by esophago­scopy (Fig. 7.6) and if it is open, then close the defect with running suture with resorbable monofilament 4–0.
7. Approximation of muscular layer
Approximate the muscular layer by running suture (Fig. 7.7).
8. Specimen extraction
The specimen is removed into a bag through a small thora­cotomy (Fig. 7.8).
9. Thoracic drain
It is recommended to leave a drain in the thorax.
10. Endoscopic control
To evaluate total resection and to check the aspect of the mucosa, an esophagoscopy is performed after the tumor has been resected.

layer (a). Approximation of muscular layer (b)
In cases of leiomyomas located in intraabdominal esoph­agus, we start the procedure as any other upper laparoscopic surgery around the hiatus and we follow these steps:
1. Dissection of the distal esophagus.
2. Localization of the tumor by visualization and palpation
and if needed by endoscopy.
3. Put a tape around the esophagus for traction.
4. Start splitting the muscular fibers on the tumor.
5. Stitch in the tumor for traction.
6. Hook and blunt dissection, preserving the mucosa.
7. Endoscopic control suturing the muscular layer.
Fig. 7.8 Specimen extraction
By large leiomyomas, the same technique is followed, using for blunt dissection the hook, and sealing devices. Manipulation of the tumor may be difficult because of the size. Finding the mucosa is a good reference mark for dis­section. In case of difficult dissection, conversion to thora­cotomy should be considered. If enucleation is not possible or mucosa is importantly damaged, an esophageal resection should be done.
