The symptoms in a group of 80 patients with a pure sliding hiatus hernia were investigated using the pyloric regulation test (Capper, Airth, and Kilby, 1966). It was found that there was a high correlation between the symptoms of heartburn and the reflux of duodenal barium into the stomach.

Pre-operative bariatric patient characteristics driving hiatal hernia repair decision by operating surgeons.
Surg Pract Sci
September 2023
Department of General Surgery, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL.
Background: Hiatal hernia (HH) is routinely reported in 40% of bariatric surgery patients. Left unrepaired, HH can lead to post-surgical reflux, regurgitation, and vomiting.
Objectives: We hypothesize that patients with pre-operative reflux symptoms and a higher body mass index (BMI) will receive hiatal hernia repairs (HHR) more often.

Gastroenterology, Hospital Clínico San Carlos. Universidad Complutense de Madrid, España.
Background And Aim: Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) is the gold standard of antireflux surgery. Up to 30% of patients experience symptoms after surgery, with insufficient information available. The main objective is to evaluate epidemiological, clinical, and functional factors associated with symptoms after LNP.

Background: According to Rome IV, reflux hypersensitivity (RH) represents a novel form of functional esophageal disorder. This study was designed to compare the clinical features of three types of endoscopic-negative heartburn: RH, nonerosive reflux disease (NERD), and functional heartburn (FH).
Methods: Patients with heartburn in a medical center from 01/01/2017 to 10/31/2021 were included.

Electronic and Biomedical Instrumentation Group, Department of Electronic Engineering, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, C/ Jordi Girona, 1-3, Edifici C4, 08034, Barcelona, Spain.
New procedures like the robotic approach require proficiency to ensure patient safety and satisfactory functional results. Hiatal hernia surgery serves as a suitable training procedure for upper gastrointestinal tract surgeons transitioning to the robotic approach. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of implementing the robotic approach in hiatal hernia surgery at a tertiary hospital and to assess the associated learning curve.

Klinikum Friedrichshafen GmbH, Department of Visceral Surgery, Röntgenstraße 2, 88048 Friedrichshafen, Germany.
Background: This study reports outcomes of the RefluxStop procedure treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in clinical practice at a high-volume regional hospital in Germany.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 79 patients with chronic GERD that underwent the RefluxStop procedure, comprising high mediastinal dissection, loose cruroplasty, esophagogastroplication between vagal trunks, and fundus invagination of the RefluxStop implant. The primary outcome was GERD Health-Related Quality-of-Life (GERD-HRQL) score and improvement from baseline.
