Title: [Repair of hiatus hernia in adults by double gastropexy (author's transl)]. Author: Dubois F, Berthelot G, Levard H. Journal: Nouv Presse Med; 1982 May 01; 11(20):1553-5. PubMed ID: 7099933. Abstract: Hiatus hernia was repaired in 108 adult patients by a technique combining posterior gastropexy, as described by Toupet, with anterior gastropexy on the lesser curvature. The purpose of the anterior gastropexy is to avoid intra-hiatal reascension of the anti-reflux montage, a complication which seldom results in recurrence of clinical symptoms but is reflected in radiological images of relapse with often troublesome psychosomatic effects.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
