Hernias hiatales: ¿cuándo y por qué deben ser operadas?

Abstract

This study presents the results obtained by our group, considering disease duration and postoperative results. Patients and method: A total of 121 patients were included and divided by age, disease duration, type of hiatal hernia and postoperative outcome.
