title: [Posterior cardiopexy technique].
abstract: The technique of Hill's posterior cardiopexy is based on precise anatomical criteria. Hill's "strips" actually correspond to the peri-oesophageal connective tissue described by Boutelier. The operation consists of closing the oesophageal hiatus and attaching the "strips" to the preaortic fascia. We prefer to perform the operation via a left subcostal incision without intraoperative manometry and we complete the procedure by fixing the fundus of the stomach to the left side of the oesophagus.
