Management of oesophageal perforation associated with benign stricture and hiatus hernia by oesophagoplasty and fundoplication.

This report concerns its use in perforation of the oesophagus in an 81-year-old woman with benign peptic stricture in whom perforation occurred during instrumentation.

A cross-sectional study was performed to study the relation of H. pylori with reflux oesophagitis, hiatus hernia and Barrett's oesophagus. MATERIAL AND MET...
