Results of operative treatment of patients with esophageal hernias of the diaphragm can be substantially improved in cases of differential approach to choice of the plasty method. Choice of the method of plasty depends on the hernia type, topographic-anatomical structure of the esophageal opening of the diaphragm, concomitant diseases and age of the patient. Preference should be given to methods of non-complete fundoplication performed from the transabdominal access.
