Abstract
The symptoms and the clinical picture of esophageal hiatus hernia depend largely on the presence and degree of gastroesophageal reflux. It is reflux which produces the severe complications, such as esophagitis, secondary scar contracture, aspiration, and bronchopneumonia. The main purpose of therapy is directed toward the prevention of such complications.Keywords
