Abstract
The diagnosis of short esophagus can be made only in operating room with a combined surgical and endoscopic measurament of the distance between the gastro-esophageal junction and the diaphragm, and only after extending mobilization of the mediastinal esophagus. When these conditions are met and the intra-abdominal portion of the esophagus is shorter than 2 to 3 cm with no downward tension applied, it is approriate to perform a Collis gastroplasty (level of evidence 3 to 4; recommendation grade C).File in questo prodotto:
