    Summary

    Intraoperative esophageal manometry helps surgeons adjust pressure around the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) during hiatus hernia repair. This technique prevents surgical complications and is validated by postoperative tests.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Technology

    Context:

    • Hiatus hernia repair involves managing the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).
    • Intraoperative adjustments are crucial for surgical success and patient outcomes.

    Purpose:

    • To present the personal experience with intraoperative esophageal manometry during hiatus hernia surgery.
    • To demonstrate the utility of manometry in optimizing LES pressure control.

    Summary:

    • Esophageal manometry was used intraoperatively to monitor and adjust the pressure of the air cushion around the LES.
    • This allowed for precise control, preventing complications from overly tight or lax closures.
    • Postoperative assessments confirmed the effectiveness of the manometry-guided technique.

    Impact:
