Sliding oesophageal hiatal hernia was diagnosed radiographically in two domestic short‐haired cats. The hernias were corrected by hiatal tightening, modified Nissen fundoplication and permanent gastropexy. One cat recovered without complication, and the other developed severe necrotic gastritis following surgery. Both cats were asymptomatic and had normal radiographic studies nine months and one year after surgery.
