title: [Operative treatment of hiatus hernia : Evidence on mesh inlay].
abstract: High rates of recurrence in hiatus hernia and antireflux surgery led to the introduction of different methods for diaphragm closure. Prosthetic diaphragm closure with meshes remains a controversial issue in the literature. Available data show lower recurrence rates after prosthetic diaphragm closure; however, there is no clear standard for the indications and technique. Despite the availability of a few prospective randomized trials, a clear recommendation regarding this issue cannot currently be given.
