Abstract
Abstract
Thirty-six patients who had undergone a simple repair of a hiatus hernia were examined with regard to the postoperative symptomatology, persistence of reflux as judged by radiological means and the pressures of the lower oesophageal sphincter. One-third of these patients had persistent symptoms although these were usually mild. It has not been possible to correlate the persistence of symptoms with either the demonstration of radiological reflux or reduced lower oesophageal sphincteric pressures.
