  • Title: Modification of the Hill technique for repair of hiatal hernia.
    Author: Vansant JH, Baker JW, Ross DG.
    Journal: Surg Gynecol Obstet; 1976 Oct; 143(4):637-42. PubMed ID: 785649.
    Abstract:
    The major modification of this technique allows accurate placement of sutures through the median arcuate ligament and eliminates the dissection required to expose the aorta at the origin of the celiac artery. Use of a separate row of sutures to create a sling at the esophagogastric junction maintains the desired intraluminal diameter when the esophagogastric junction is secured to the median arcuate ligament.
