Surgical Management of the Complications of Reflux Esophagitis

Conservative surgery in reflux stricture of the oesophagus associated with hiatal hernia

“…However, the choice of operation and the substitute have been subject to the surgeon's preference. Oesophagogastric anastomosis has been employed by Sweet et al (1954), Ellis et al (1956), Collis (1957), Gavriliu (1965) and Franklin (1977).…”

Surgery of the Esophago‐gastric Region: Use of the Gastric‐remnant Interposition Procedure

“…The patients with reflux esophagitis did not experience any recurrence after this operation. In postoperative care, the possibility of ischemia of the interposed segment and consequent obstructive symptoms should be borne in mind. ) Removal of the lower part of the esophagus, the cardia, and the lower part of the stomach including the antrum; the proximal end of the stomach is anastomosed to the esophagus, and the lower end to the duodenum; a vagectomy is also performed—Ellis, Anderson and Clagett (9). Their short‐term results were encouraging.…”

The Treatment of Fibrous Stricture of the Oesophagus Associated with Hiatal Hernia

“…Most authors favour some sort of resection (Allison, 1951;Allison, Wooler, and Gunning, 1957; Barrett, 1952Barrett, , 1957Belsey, 1953;Ellis, 1956;Ellis, Andersen, and Clagett, 1956;Lindskog and Kline, 1957;MacLean and Wangensteen, 1956;Mustard, 1957;Sweet, Robbins, Gephart, and Wilkins, 1954;Tanner, 1955;Wooler, 1956), but few agree on what is to be removed or how best to reconstitute the alimentary canal afterwards. Many variations of resection of oesophagus, or stomach, or both, with all sorts of anastomoses which may or may not involve the jejunum or colon, have been advocated.…”
