| Popis: | Among the 154 infants admitted for gastroesophageal reflux with a hiatus hernia during the period January 1, 1965 through June 30, 1972, and operative procedure was required in 46 (18.5%). The surgical procedure used in most patients was the simple one of adding gastropexy to fundoplication and pyloroplasty by an abdominal approach. In patients with esophageal stricture, we are becoming more conservative after experience with a variety of esophageal reconstructions. The indications for operative intervention remain rather stringent in spite of the quality of the surgical results and the danger of ineffective medical management. All of our patients were assessed postoperatively by endoscopy and radio-graphic cine studies. The follow-up ranges from 7 no to 8 yr. We believe that selected cases of gastroesophageal reflux in infants are well managed by a simple surgical procedure. |
