Background: Laparoscopic repair with fundoplication is the approach of choice for treatment of symptomatic hiatal hernias. Patient and procedure factors are considered in the decision-making process repair. Recurrence is multi-factorial and has been shown to be related to size, type, body mass index (BMI), and age. This study examined recurrence rates in our institution, identified areas for improvement in surgical technique, and re-assessed recurrence following implantation of a quality improvement initiative.
