Abstract:The surgical approach for hiatal hernia repair with anti-reflux procedures has transitioned from traditional open thoracotomy to the era of minimally invasive techniques. In recent years, laparoscopic surgery has been widely applied in hiatal hernia repair. Robotic-assisted hiatal hernia repair represents an important trend in the development of minimally invasive surgery for this condition and has seen rapid progress in recent years. However, there is currently no definitive guideline for clinical practice. To further standardize the robotic surgical treatment of hiatal hernia, the Expert Working Group of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease of Surgeons Society of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, building upon the 2023 consensus, took the lead in organizing domestic experts in related fields to review relevant literature from both China and abroad, discuss key issues and challenges, and formulate the 2024 edition of the expert consensus. This resulted in the publication of the “Chinese expert consensus on robotic-assisted hiatal hernia repair with anti-reflux surgery in adults (2024 Edition)”, which aims to provide guidance and reference for the continued advancement of robotic hiatal hernia surgery in China.
