Review reveals increased paraconduit hernia incidence after minimally invasive esophagectomy, highlighting the necessity of selective repair criteria and careful hiatal closure.

Key Points

Minimally invasive esophagectomy is associated with an increased incidence of paraconduit hernia compared to open surgery, though many cases remain asymptomatic.
Surgical repair is recommended for symptomatic paraconduit hernia, requiring recognition of preexisting hiatal hernia alongside snug hiatal closure with non-absorbable suture.
Highlights high morbidity and hernia recurrence following repair, necessitating strict selection criteria while introducing a novel robotic approach for surgical management.
