Long-Term Outcomes Following Laparoscopic Repair of Large Hiatus Hernias Performed by Trainees Versus Consultant Surgeons
2019
Background
The laparoscopic approach is the preferred method for repair of large hiatus hernias but can be technically challenging. Training surgeons need experience as the primary operator to gain competency in this operation. However, learning the procedure should not compromise the functional long-term outcome for patients. The aim of this study was to determine whether any difference in long-term outcomes exists for patients having a laparoscopic large hiatus hernia repair performed by a trainee versus a consultant surgeon.
