[Intra-operative manometry and hiatal hernia].
Personal experience of the intra-operative use of oesophageal manometry in cases of hiatus hernia is presented. Using this system the pressure in the air cushion surrounding the L.E.S. can be adjusted to avoid any complications due to overtight or overlax surgery. Various types of post-operative tests confirm the value of the technique.
