  • Title: Further experience with anterior gastric fixation in the management of hiatal hernia.
    Author: Mathewson C, Lindyberg KR.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 1977 Jul; 134(1):102-7. PubMed ID: 327839.
    Abstract:
    Anterior gastropexy in properly selected patients is a simple, safe, and effective procedure for the surgical correction of symptomatic esophageal reflux in the presence of a sliding type of hiatal hernia not accompanied by fibrosis and secondary shortening of the esophagus. This technic is particularly useful in poor risk, elderly, and excessively obese patients and as an adjunct to other intraabdominal procedures.
