Abstract
A patient with a large paraesophageal hernia had a Nissen fundoplicati on via laparoscopy. He returned a year later with the transverse colon herniated into the chest, At operation, the hernia ostium was found t o be the aortic hiatus. We believe that the original ostium was missed because of the limited exposure of the video-laparoscopic technique.
