Popis: Hiatal hernia recurrence (HHR) after surgical repair associated with dysphagia, gastroesophageal reflux disease or other symptoms represents a non-negligible disease that frequently needs a reoperative solution. The repair of a relapsed hiatal hernia represents a surgical challenge due to anatomic changes and fibrosis, and the robotic approach seems to provide benefits because offers enhanced visualization and dexterity. Methods Between June 2019 and February 2021, 7 patients (1 male, 6 female) underwent redo robotic approach surgery for hiatal hernia recurrence after being pre operative diagnosed. All surgeries were elective and all patients had both clinical and radiologic recurrence. Biosynthetic tissue absorbable mesh was applied in one patient with double time recurrence hernia. Four patients underwent total fundoplication (Nissen), 2 patients had Toupet fundoplication, and one patient had hiatus repair without fundoplication. Results The mean age of the patients was 62.7 years and the main expressed symptom for the patient was dysphagia. Time to clinical recurrence was 13 months. Biosynthetic mesh was used in one patient. The mean operative time was 143 minutes (80–240) and no intraoperative complications were described. There were no conversions to open or laparoscopic procedures. The early and 30 day mortality rate was 0% and mean hospital stay was 2.7 days. Conclusion Robotic support, when available, can be beneficial in redo surgery for GERD and hiatal hernia recurrence. Despite our short experience, we believe the robotic approach for redo hiatal surgery is safe and effective with low complication rates even in high-risk patients.
