Circumferential oesophageal myotomy

Journal of British Surgery, 1972
Abstract Circumferential division of the oesophageal muscle combined with hiatal hernia repair has been carried out in 26 patients, 19 of whom had a peptic stricture. The object of the procedure is to achieve slight elongation and relaxation of the oesophagus so as to make reduction of the hernia easier in the presence of slight degrees ...
