title: [Gastroesophageal reflux: long-term results of surgical management].
abstract: 73 patients presenting with hiatus hernia and reflux oesophagitis verified endoscopically, were controlled and checked by endoscopy 5 to 15 years after surgical correction of reflux. In half of these cases the intervention consisted of a "fundoplicatio" and in the other half, of a "hemi-fundoplicatio" or closure of the angle of His. The long-term results show a higher degree of efficiency of the "fundoplicatio" particularly that which concerns the curing of the oesophagitis. The adjunction of a vagotomy-pyloroplasty in 9 patients showed an increase in the frequency of bile reflux in the stomach. The absence of cancer in the oesophagus in the 73 patients controlled after a period of many years, suggests that correction of the reflux and of the oesophagitis constitutes a high measure of efficiency.
