Esophagogastric Junction Distensibility During Hiatal Hernia Repair

Description

The investigators aim to ascertain the effects of hiatal hernia repair and fundoplication on the distensibility of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) as measured by FLIP topography/impedance planimetry. The investigators also aim to assess for any correlation between values of EGJ distensibility and GERD related quality of life (QOL) and dysphagia scores.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Patient undergoing hiatal hernia repair (types I-IV included) and fundoplication
  • * Absence of spastic esophageal disorders (i.e. jackhammer esophagus, achalasia types I-III) assessed by preoperative high-resolution manometry
  • * Adult patients ≥18 years
  • * Elective repairs
  • * Redo hiatal hernia repairs
  • * Emergent repairs
  • * Patients with contraindication to surgery or endoscopy
  • * Patients with esophageal varices
  • * Cases with insufficient esophageal length in which fundoplication is unable to be performed or a Collis gastroplasty is required
  • * Connective tissue diseases such as scleroderma or lupus
  • * Diameter measurements less than 5 mm as the EF-325N catheter is not suitable
