Zusammenfassung: | Antireflux surgery, specifically the Hill procedure, has been shown to be effective management of refractory reflux when assessed in the relatively short term. This study follows 441 patients from the time of their initial operation and reports on assessments conducted after 5 to 10 years and 15 to 20 years. The late study group comprises 167 patients (mean age 71 years) with an average follow-up of 17.8 years; 15.6% of patients had undergone a previous antireflux operation. Overall subjective good and excellent results, as determined by the patients themselves, were seen to improve significantly (p less than 0.02) between the two follow-up periods, 82% and 88%, respectively. No serious late complications such as fistula, bleeding, or obstruction were observed in this series. The Hill antireflux operation, properly performed, provides durable long-term results. |
