[Urgent problems of diagnosis and treatment of reflux esophagitis].
The authors analyse the results of diagnosis and surgical treatment of various forms of reflux esophagitis in 426 patients. The disease was caused by hiatal hernia in 60.4% of patients, by various operations on the cardia in 22%, and by gastric and duodenal ulcer in 8.2% of patients. Various diagnostic methods are evaluated, among which intraesophageal pH measurement and esophagofibroscopy are particularly important. The indications for operative treatment are formulated. Operations were carried out on 349 patients, complications occurred in 15%. The lethality was 0.6%. Nissen's fundoplication is the operation of choice.
