OBJECTIVE: To define the frequency and predictors of short esophagus in a case series of patients undergoing antireflux surgery. METHOD: An observational prospective study from September 10, 2004, to October 31, 2006, was performed at 8 centers. The distance between the esophagogastric junction as identified by intraoperative esophagoscopy and the apex of the diaphragmatic hiatus was measured intraoperatively before and after esophageal mediastinal dissection; a distance of 1.5 cm was arbitrarily determined to categorize cases as long (>1.5 cm) or short (
