Abstract

Barrett’s columnar-hned esophagus (CLE) is the result of a creeping substitution of reflux denuded squamous epithehum by columnar epithehum which is derived from the gastric fundic epithehum. Experimental and chnical evidence has shown that the replacement process is a very slow one. The process is one of repair, and the denuded segment is the stimulus for replacement by acid-resistent columnar epithelium
