The American Journal of Surgery, 1969
Abstract Current concepts of the esophagogastric junction and its disorders are reviewed. The clinical significance of hiatus herniation is gradually being clarified. In only a minority of carefully selected cases is surgical treatment required. Successful methods of repair emphasize re-establishment and maintenance of a segment of esophagus below ...

Motility Changes Revealing Esophagogastric Junction
Radiology, 1961Considerable controversy persists concerning what is strictly normal or abnormal in the distal esophagus and at the cardia. Should it be possible to have a particular observation generally accepted, subsequent definitions of such entities as hiatus hernia, vestibule (1), or ampulla (2), might be more readily and more accurately derived.

Journal of Surgical Research, 1966
Summary Currently available diagnostic techniques involving manometric studies, pH determinations, and cineradiographic techniques have added considerably to our knowledge of the normal and abnormal function of the esophagogastric junction. Nevertheless, these must be viewed in perspective, and they cannot supplant sound clinical judgment in the ...

Cancer of the esophagogastric junction
Surgical Oncology, 2000In the Western world, there has been an alarming rise in the incidence and prevalence of adenocarcinoma arising at the esophagogastric junction during recent decades. Epidemiological, clinical and pathological data support a sub-classification of adenocarcinomas arising in the vicinity of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) into adenocarcinoma of the ...

Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagogastric Junction
Digestive Diseases, 1999Adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) has increased rapidly in incidence in the latter half of the twentieth century. The increase in incidence has affected white men between the ages of 40 and 60 disproportionately. Understanding the etiology and improving treatment requires careful classification of EGJ tumors.

Optimal surgery for esophagogastric junctional cancer
Langenbeck's Archives of Surgery, 2021Esophagogastric junctional cancer is classified into three categories according to the Siewert classification, which reflects the epidemiological and biological characteristics. Therapeutic strategies have been evaluated according to the three Siewert types.

Esophagogastric Junction Outflow Obstruction
Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2020Goals: The authors aimed to compare preperistaltic distal esophageal pressure in patients with esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) with and without reported dysphagia. Background: Manometric EGJOO is characterized by elevated integral relaxation pressure (>15 mm ...

Chemoradiation in Esophagogastric Junction Cancer
2017For decades, primary surgery and radiotherapy (RT) alone were two treatment options for potentially curable esophageal cancer. Outcomes were poor, with most patients developing recurrent disease with associated morbidity and mortality. Both treatment options evolved over time as a result of better staging [1–3] and improved surgical [4–6] and radiation

Esophagogastric junction distensibility in hiatus hernia.
Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus, 2016Hiatus hernia is known to be an important risk factor for developing gastroesophageal reflux disease. We aimed to use the endoscopic functional lumen imaging probe (EndoFLIP) to evaluate the functional properties of the esophagogastric junction. EndoFLIP assessments were made in 30 patients with hiatus hernia and Barrett's esophagus, and in 14 healthy ...

What is a Normal Esophagogastric Junction?
Gastroenterology, 1972This study deals with the incidence of apparent abnormality of the esophagogastric junction in a group of young asymptomatic individuals. We have defined the esophagogastric junction to be normal if the following criteria were met: (1) absence of hiatus hernia by X-ray; (2) absence of significant gastroesophageal reflux measured by intraesophageal p H
