Abstract
(en) [Reflux-related short esophagus : radiological diagnosis and surgical treatment]. Short esophagus is present in about 7 % of patients referred for antireflux surgery. Barium swallow study including X-rays taken in the upright position is the most appropriate method for assessing the irreducibility of the GE junction below the diaphragm. Permanent control of reflux is best achieved using the intrathoracic fundoplication technique according to Nissen. Strict observance of critical technical details is mandatory to make the procedure safe and successful.
