AB  - Paraesophageal  hernias  comprise  approximately  5%  to  15%  of  all  hiatal  hernias  and  are  challenging  hernias  to  repair.  Most  commonly,  these  occur  in  patients  age  >50  to  60  years.  The  natural  history  of  paraesophageal  hernia  repair  has  not  been  systematically  studied,  but,  in  general,  many  patients  present  with  a  longstanding  history  of  hiatal  hernia.  Therefore,  it’s  likely  that  these  progressively  enlarge  over  time.  While  they  can  be  asymptomatic,  some  patients  present  with  acute  gastric  outlet  obstruction  and/or  gastric  ischemia  that  requires  emergency  surgical  intervention.  In  this  chapter,  the  clinical  presentation,  diagnostic  evaluation,  and  surgical  technical  aspects  and  resultant  outcomes  of  paraesophageal  hernia  repair  will  be  presented.
