Esophageal Stricture Secondary to Reflux Esophagitis
Archives of Surgery, 1975Since 1966 we have used esophageal dilation plus Nissen fundoplication as our sole method of treating esophageal strictures caused by reflux esophagitis. Twenty-six patients were treated for esophageal strictures. Dysphagia, vomiting, and weight loss were the main complaints.

Diagnosis of esophageal reflux often can be made on the basis of the characteristic symptoms of heartburn and regurgitation. When the picture is not so typical, acid reflux testing and esophageal biopsy appear to be the best indicators of esophageal reflux. Medical management is directed toward preventing reflux, neutralizing refluxed gastric contents,

Reflux eosophagitis is one of the most common chronic disorders in humans. While ultimately due to contact of esophageal epithelium with gastric acid and pepsin, the pathogenesis of the condition remains poorly understood. In the present manuscript, some key clinical aspects of this condition are briefly reviewed, including pathogenesis, complications,

Mechanisms of Gastroesophageal Reflux in Patients with Reflux Esophagitis
New England Journal of Medicine, 1982We evaluated the mechanisms of gastroesophageal reflux in 10 patients with reflux esophagitis and compared the results with findings from 10 controls. The patients had more episodes of reflux (35 +/- 15 in 12 hours, as compared with 9 +/- 8 in the controls) and a lower pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter (13 +/- 8 mm Hg as compared with 29 +/- 9

Reflux esophagitis is a common disorder in which esophageal inflammation is caused by the reflux of gastric contents. The diagnostic approach includes documentation that reflux is present, that the patient's symptoms are caused by the reflux, and that esophageal mucosal damage has occurred.
