[Treatment of peptic esophageal stenosis in childhood].
Among a total of 82 children treated conservatively and surgically for hiatal hernia and gastro-esophageal malposition (Lortat-Jacob) 14 cases (17%) of peptic stenosis of the esophagus was observed. In an evaluation of the etiology of peptic esophageal stenosis the importance of anatomical growth and morphological changes of the cardia during infancy is stressed. Analysis of patient data revealed an unusually short period of stenotic manifestation after the first symptoms of reflux had been noted. Fundoplication with or without bouginage on an endless string seems to constitute the most beneficial form of therapy.
