[Pathology of the cardio-hiatal sector].
Authors give rational rules for therapy of these anomalies, based on their samp physiopathology. Special attention is given to quality of gastro-esophageal reflux, which in cases of gastric hyperacidity can be the cause of complications in this disease. A wide study made in different groups of these patients, and comparison with a normal group and others affected with a probable duodenal ulcer, is sufficiently significant for accepting this possibility. Postural therapy for gastric ectopias and cardiac-esophageal dilatations in the first months of life are proposed. In case of bad evolution or presentation of a gastric hyperacidity on approaching one year of age, a surgical intervention is indicated. Big hernias should always be operated. As a surgical technique they propose an anatomical correction in order to return a normal physiology to the affected region.
