Key result
Manometric evaluation of physiological repair for hiatus hernia demonstrated that patients could be classified into two groups based on baseline gastroesophageal sphincter pressure characteristics.
Why the study?
Does surgical repair (Belsey operation) improve pressure characteristics of the gastroesophageal sphincter in patients with hiatus hernia?
Population
Normal subjects and patients with hiatus hernia
Comparison
Surgical repair vs Before repair (baseline)
Design
Cohort

Baseline sphincter pressure stratifies hiatus hernia patients; leaves open whether Belsey repair improves manometry by subgroup.

Does surgical repair (Belsey operation) improve pressure characteristics of the gastroesophageal sphincter in patients with hiatus hernia?
Manometric studies suggest hiatus hernia patients can be classified into two groups based on gastroesophageal sphincter pressure characteristics.
James Lind (1965) conducted an observational in Hiatus hernia with reflux esophagitis. Physiological repair (Belsey operation) vs. Before repair (baseline) was evaluated on Pressure characteristics of the gastroesophageal sphincter region. Manometric evaluation of physiological repair for hiatus hernia demonstrated that patients could be classified into two groups based on baseline gastroesophageal sphincter pressure characteristics.
