Summary

Four hundred ninety-three cases of hiatus hernia in childhood are discussed, including 22.3% with esophageal stenosis. These children were treated between 1954 and 1973 in the children‘s surgical clinic of the central hospital in Bremen. The surgical technique used was that of hiatoplasty and gastropexy, which was earlier considered to necessitate a thoraco-abdominal incision but has for some years been performed with an abdominal approach. Of the 128 children subjected to surgery and follow-up examinations, 101 (78.9%) showed clinical and radiological evidence of recovery. Sixteen (12.5%) relapsed. Particular attention is devoted to the problems of esophageal stenosis due to reflux.

Zusammenfassung

Es wird über Erfahrungen bei 493 kindlichen Hiatushernien, davon 22,3% mit Oesophagusstenosen, berichtet. Alle wurden in der Zeit von 1954 bis 1973 an der Kinderchirurgischen Klinik des Zentralkrankenhauses, St. Jürgen-Straße, Bremen, behandelt. An Operationsverfahren kam die Hiatoplastik und Gastropexie, vorgehend auf thorakoabdomi-nalem, seit Jahren auf rein abdominalem Wege zur Anwendung. Von 128 operierten und nachuntersuchten Kindern waren 101 (78,9%) sowohl klinisch als auch röntgenologisch geheilt. 16 (12,5%) boten ein Rezidiv. Besondere Erwähnung finden die Probleme der refluxbedingten Oesophagusstenosen.
