  • Title: [Relevance of lower oesophageal sphincter manometry in prae- and postoperative evaluation of gastrooesophageal reflux disease (author's transl)].
    Author: Starlinger M, Meyer C, Calderoli H, Blanchot P, Hollender LF.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1978; 103(4):221-7. PubMed ID: 645270.
    Abstract:
    In 27 patients with refluxoesophagitis the resting LES-pressure was approximatly 80% lower than in 12 patients with asymptomatic hiatal hernia and 15 controls. All patients in the first group were operated on and 21 fundoplications (Nissen) and 6 anterior plications (Dor) were performed. The postiperativ LES-pressures were 70% higher than praeoperative and almost identical for both methods. The effective restitution of a functional sphincter with these operations could be demonstrated in this way.
