[Lateral esophagofundoplication in sliding hernias of the esophageal opening of the diaphragm].

The authors analyze their experience with 140 operations performed for sliding hernias of the esophageal opening of the diaphragm. In 101 patients the lateral esophagofundoplication was performed by the method of B. V. Petrovski and N. N. Kanshin, in 39 patients the operation being the lateral esophagofundoplication by the authors' modification. There were no cases of postoperative lethality. Postoperative dysphagia appeared in 6 patients. Long-term results were studied in 93 patients (good results in 50 patients, satisfactory--in 26 patients, unsatisfactory--in 17 patients). Recurrent hernias were the cause of unsatisfactory results in 7 patients, incompetence of the cardia--in 10 patients.
