Congenital oesophageal hiatal hernia in a pug
نویسندگان
چکیده
Congenital sliding, oesophageal or type I hiatal hernia was diagnosed in a five-month-old pug puppy presented for evaluation of dyspnoea post feeding. The diagnosis was confirmed using plain film radiography. Surgical reduction of the hernia followed by plication of the oesophageal hiatus, oesophagopexy and left flank gastropexy permitted restoration of normal function. At 12 months of age, the dog was asymptomatic. This article describes the diagnosis and treatment of a congenital type 1 oesophageal hiatal herniation with unusual clinical presentation.

During recent years this attitude has been altered, because the progress of thoracic surgery has made operations on the oesophagus a much safer procedure and has thus increased the possibility of treating surgically oesophageal lesions in children. Among the diseases and malformations which have be...

Intraluminal pressure, transmucosal potential difference, and pH studies in the oesophagus of patients before and after Collis repair of a hiatal hernia Intraluminal pressure, transmucosal potential difference, and endo-oesophageal pH measurements were studied in patients with hiatal hernia-before and after a hiatal repair. The operation employed is the Collis (1968) repair for uncomplicated hi...
متن کاملSelective vagotomy of the canine oesophagus--a model for the treatment of hiatal hernia.
Hiatal herniation caused by contraction of the longitudinal muscle of the oesophagus has been prevented by disconnecting the local vagal nerve supply while preserving the vagal connections to more distant organs. A selective oesophageal vagotomy above the lung hilum may prove an effective adjunct to orthodox hiatal hernia repair in man.
