The Thoracic Surgery Clinics of North America, guest edited by Drs. Inderpal S. Sarkaria and Abbas E. Abbas, is dedicated to Paraesophageal Hernia Repair. Drs. Sarkaria and Abbas have assembled a team of expert authors to review a range of topics, including:

Management of Complications in Paraesophageal Hernia Repair: This section explores the management of complications that may arise during paraesophageal hernia repair, such as recurrence, esophageal stricture, and respiratory complications. Expert authors discuss strategies for preventing and managing these complications.

Surgical Anatomy of Paraesophageal Hernias: This section provides an in-depth understanding of the surgical anatomy of paraesophageal hernias, including the different types and their underlying causes. Expert authors discuss the surgical approaches and techniques used to repair these hernias.

Robotic Paraesophageal Hernia Repair: Robotic surgery has become increasingly popular in the treatment of paraesophageal hernias. This section explores the advantages and limitations of robotic paraesophageal hernia repair, as well as the surgical techniques and equipment involved.

Management of Paraesophageal Hernia in the Obese Patient: Paraesophageal hernias are more common in obese patients, and their management presents unique challenges. This section discusses the strategies for managing paraesophageal hernias in the obese patient, including pre-operative preparation, surgical techniques, and post-operative care.

Technical Options and Approaches to Lengthen the Shortened Esophagus: In some cases, paraesophageal hernias may be associated with a shortened esophagus. This section explores the technical options and approaches used to lengthen the shortened esophagus, including esophageal reconstruction and stenting.

Laparoscopic Paraesophageal Hernia Repair: Laparoscopic surgery has become the preferred approach for repairing paraesophageal hernias. This section discusses the advantages and techniques of laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair, including the use of specialized tools and equipment.

Short and Long Term Outcomes of Paraesophageal Hernia Repair: This section examines the short- and long-term outcomes of paraesophageal hernia repair, including patient satisfaction, recurrence rates, and survival rates. Expert authors provide insights into the factors that influence these outcomes.

Pre-operative Evaluation and Clinical Decision Making for Giant Paraesophageal Hernias: Who Gets an Operation?: Giant paraesophageal hernias can be challenging to diagnose and manage. This section discusses the pre-operative evaluation and clinical decision-making process for giant paraesophageal hernias, including the criteria for surgical intervention and the potential risks and benefits of surgery.

Common Tenets in Repair of Primary Paraesophageal Hernias: Reducing Tension and Maximizing Length: This section highlights the common tenets in the repair of primary paraesophageal hernias, including reducing tension on the hernia repair site and maximizing length to improve outcomes. Expert authors discuss the surgical techniques and techniques used to achieve these goals.

Management of Recurrent Paraesophageal Hernia: Recurrent paraesophageal hernias are a common complication after initial repair. This section discusses the management of recurrent paraesophageal hernias, including surgical approaches, medical management, and lifestyle modifications.

Transthoracic Paraesophageal Hernia Repair: Transthoracic paraesophageal hernia repair is a less invasive alternative to open surgery. This section discusses the advantages and techniques of transthoracic paraesophageal hernia repair, including the use of mesh implants and minimally invasive surgical techniques.

Anesthetic Management for Paraesophageal Hernia Repair: Anesthetic management is an important aspect of paraesophageal hernia repair. This section discusses the anesthetic options and techniques used to ensure patient safety and comfort during the procedure.

Furthermore, the issue includes a comprehensive review of the latest research and clinical trials in paraesophageal hernia repair, providing readers with the most up-to-date information on the field.

This issue of Thoracic Surgery Clinics of North America is a valuable resource for surgeons, residents, and fellows interested in the treatment of paraesophageal hernias. It offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the latest surgical techniques, management strategies, and research in this field.
