Purpose This study reviewed outcomes on laparoscopic management of hiatus hernia (HH) in the pediatric age group. Methods MEDLINE/PubMed was reviewed. Studies in patients ≤ 17 years and published in English/Portuguese/Spanish were included, and selected by two reviewers. Data was collected for previous surgery, neurological impairment, type of HH, associated fundoplication, surgical technique, conversions, recurrence, follow-up and mortality. Results are presented as percentages and means. Fisher's Exact Test was used to evaluate categorical variables, and statistical difference was considered when p ≤ 0.05. Results Ten articles with n = 171 met the inclusion criteria. Mean age were 66.1 months (range newborn-17 years) with male predominance (n = 110, 64.3%). Neurological impairment was reported in 10/35 children, but the information was not available for the majority of cases (n = 136; 79.5%). Type-I HH was reported in 15 children, type-II in seven, type-III in eight, and it was not specified in n = 141 (82.5%). Surgical correction was associated with fundoplication in n = 170 (99.4%; n = 99 Nissen, n = 68 Thal, n = 3 not specified). Patch was not used in the majority of cases (n = 167, 97.7%). There were seven conversions (4.1%), five recurrences (2.9%) and no mortality. Complications were reported in n = 27 (15.8%), esophageal stenosis being the most common (n = 24; only five required treatment). Mean follow-up was 19.7 months (range 1-138 months). Conclusions Pediatric reporting on laparoscopic HH management is scarce, and important information is frequently omitted (e.g., neurological impairment, type of HH). The preferred approach is associated with Nissen/Thal fundoplication without patch. Recurrence occurred in less than 3% of the cases, and complications are minor, without mortality.
