giant hiatal hernia

Robot-assisted Toupet fundoplication and associated cholecystectomy in symptomatic giant hiatal hernia with situs viscerum inversus. A case report and literature review

Introduction:Giant hiatus hernia is defined as migration of >30% of the stomach with or without other intra- abdominal organs into the chest. Situs Viscerum Inversus is a rare congenital condition in which the major visceral organs are reversed from their normal arrangement; they are translated (completely or partially) on the opposite side of the body. Diagnosis is often incidental.
