Sa1282 A NOVEL ASSESSMENT OF MORPHOLOGICAL AND FUNCTIONAL CHANGES IN ESOPHAGO-GASTRIC JUNCTION OF HIATAL HERNIA USING UPPER GI ENDOSCOPY

Hiatal hernia (HH) and lower esophageal sphincter (LES) dysfunction are deemed to be factors contributing to the pathophysiology of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). There have been limited number of reports to assess the changes in esophago-gastric junction (EGJ) of HH endoscopically. We recently developed a novel method to assess the morphological and functional changes of EGJ in HH using upper GI endoscopy.
