Robot-Assisted Hiatal Hernia Repair, Nissen Fundoplication, and Gastrostomy in a 4-Year-Old Boy

Dr. Martin Lacher ·September 17, 2026 ·12 views f 𝕏 in

This video presents robot-assisted hiatal hernia repair, Nissen fundoplication, and gastrostomy in a 4-year-old boy weighing 12 kg. The procedure demonstrates a combined robotic approach to the esophageal hiatus and stomach in a pediatric patient. Key steps include exposure of the diaphragmatic crura, dissection and reduction of the hiatal hernia, closure of the hiatus, and construction of a 360-degree Nissen fundoplication. The video also demonstrates gastrostomy placement as part of the overall surgical management. The case highlights operative planning, tissue handling, and intracorporeal suturing in pediatric foregut surgery.
