Gastro-esophageal reflux and hiatus hernia--endoscopy.
The endoscopic diagnosis of hiatal hernia (sliding type) relies on direct and indirect criteria during the oesophagoscopic or gastroscopic approach. A wide separation between the anatomic and mucosal oesophago-gastric junction, the presence of a so-called Schatzki-ring, a wandering junction with sliding gastric mucosal folds during inspiration and two ringlike structures are important. Whereas ...
متن کاملHiatus Hernia Repair with Bilateral Oesophageal Fixation
Background. Despite advances in surgical repair of hiatus hernias, there remains a high radiological recurrence rate. We performed a novel technique incorporating bilateral oesophageal fixation and evaluated outcomes, principally symptom improvement and hernia recurrence. Methods. A retrospective study was performed on a prospective database of patients undergoing hiatus hernia repair with bila...
متن کاملEffect of pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg position on gastro-oesophageal reflux and lower oesophageal sphincter pressure.
We have measured the effect of pneumoperitoneum and the Trendelenburg position on lower oesophageal sphincter (LOSP) and barrier pressures (BrP) in 11 anaesthetized pigs while measuring the incidence of gastro-oesophageal reflux with a pH electrode. Propofol in combination with sufentanil had no effect on LOSP or BrP. Adoption of the Trendelenburg position with a pneumoperitoneum of 15 mm Hg re...
متن کاملOesophageal hiatus hernia in three generations of one family.
A family is described in which eight members in three successive generations had a sliding type of oesophageal hiatus hernia (or partial thoracic stomach) as a sole anomaly. The trait in this family behaved as a strict dominant, manifesting the segregation of a single abnormal autosomal gene. Other possible aetiologies are discussed but considered unlikely.
متن کاملIntestinal metaplasia at the gastro-oesophageal junction: Helicobacter pylori gastritis or gastro-oesophageal reflux disease?
BACKGROUND Intestinal metaplasia, whether in the cardia or the distal oesophagus, has been uniformly defined as specialised columnar epithelium, suggesting a relation with Barrett's oesophagus. It is, however, not clear whether the risk factors associated with intestinal metaplasia are identical at both sites. AIMS To investigate biopsy specimens obtained below the squamocolumnar junction (SC...
