Laparoscopic management of a paraesophageal hernia with intrathoracic stomach in infants.
Paraesophageal hernia type III in which the stomach lies in the thorax is a rare condition in children. Recently two children presented with a large type III paraesophageal hernia with an intrathoracic stomach. The stomach could be retrieved from the thorax laparoscopically and the procedure was completed with a Thai antireflux procedure.
