Paraesophageal hiatus hernia (PEHH) is an uncommon type of diaphragmatic hernia in the pediatric age group. Two patients aged 5-months and 8-months presented with respiratory symptoms and underwent a laparoscopic repair. Preoperative assessment included chest x-ray and CT scan. We suggest that laparoscopic repair of PEHH in infants is safe and preferred mode of the treatment.
食管旁裂孔疝(PEHH)是小儿年龄组中一种不常见的膈疝类型。两名年龄分别为5个月和8个月的患儿因出现呼吸道症状而接受了腹腔镜修补术。术前评估包括胸部X光和CT扫描。我们认为,婴儿期PEHH的腹腔镜修补术是一种安全且首选的治疗方式。
