Robotic Paraesophageal Hernia Repair with Magnetic Sphincter Augmentation Using the LINX Device
Jonathan A. Levy, MD
University of Michigan Health-Sparrow
Robotic paraesophageal hernia repair with concurrent LINX device placement represents an evolutionary step in the surgical management of complex hiatal pathology. When performed with appropriate patient selection and attention to technical detail, the procedure offers excellent outcomes with acceptable morbidity. This instructional video will be particularly beneficial for surgeons, surgical trainees, and advanced practice providers seeking to enhance their understanding of the technical aspects of robotic paraesophageal hernia repair with LINX placement, as well as for medical educators teaching complex, minimally-invasive upper gastrointestinal procedures.
