The surgical repair of large or giant hiatal hernias (where the majority of the stomach has herniated into the chest) is a complex procedure routinely performed through a large incision on the side of the chest between the ribs. Laparoscopic repair, performed only in a few centers, is a complex advanced procedure similar to that of antireflux surgery. This procedure can also be performed with the use of the da Vinci robot.
