[Manometric study of the esophagus and intrathoracic stomach after partial esophagectomy for carcinoma].
The pressure in the residual esophagus and in the thoracic stomach was measured by using SG-II computer manometer in 25 patients who underwent resection of esophageal cancer. Thirty normal mean were chosed as controls. The results indicated that a high pressure zone was present above the esophago-gastric anastomosis. It may be helpful in preventing and reducing reflux esophagitis. We stress that the prevention of gastroesophageal reflux after the operation is related to the operative method and the topography of the stomach.
