摘要: Abstract To measure the effect of a sliding (concentric) hiatus hernia on gastroesophageal sphincter competence, 75 patients were studied: 25 without esophageal symptoms and (Group A); but with B); severe reflux, or C). In Group C, 12 had hernia, 13 did not. Symptomatic readily separated from asymptomatic ones both by weaker base-line strength decreased sphincteric response to stimulus an increase in intraabdominal pressure. However, neither nor symptomatic groups could any be found. A apparently has no competence. The rationale for surgical repair reflux must therefore questioned.
