Preoperative CT-based quantitative assessment of hernial SAC predicts early recurrence following primary hiatal hernia repair

1

Hiatal hernia involves stomach prolapsing into the mediastinum, causing symptoms like chest discomfort and GERD.
2

Postoperative recurrence of hiatal hernia is a major concern, influenced by surgical techniques like mesh augmentation and gastropexy.
3

Quantitative assessment of the hernial sac area via preoperative CT can help predict early recurrence and guide surgical strategy.
4

The study analyzed 48 patients who underwent laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair, focusing on CT parameters and postoperative outcomes.
5

Statistical methods, including ROC curves, were used to evaluate the predictive ability of CT parameters for recurrence risk.
