GERD in t he 2 0th C ent ury 

GERD was probably not recognized before the mild of the 1930’es. At the time Winkelstein described a patient with an esophageal stricture and in his paper he wondered if the stricture was caused by acid regurgitation from the stomach into esophagus. As radiology was the available investigation it was discovered that a number of patient had a hiatal hernia and GERD became synonymous with a hiatal hernia.







Later endoscopy became part of the diagnostic armamentarium, and now esophagitis became the dominant term. Finally pH studies were developed and focus was directed more towards acid regurgitation into stomach. Initially antacids and alginates were the supplements to general advices; but from the late 1970’es first H2-reseptor antagonists, later PPI became available

Ethnic and geographical variation GERD is predominant among Caucasians and occurs rarely among blacks. Prevalence of GERD-symptoms A huge number of studies have focused on the prevalence of heartburn. Prevalence on the basis of investigations The important investigations in GERD is endoscopy and pHstudies. Both these investigations are available and associated with considerable discomfort. Sex and age distrubution There is, however, a tendency towards a higher prevalence of macroscopic esophagitis with increasing age. It is noteworthy that most series on antireflux surgery includes more men than women.

Natural history of GERD  GERD can present in a number of different ways varying from non-erosive GERD to complications as stenosis, Barrett and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus .  Symptom severity is independent of the grade of macroscopic esophagitis  When patients have consulted their doctor for GERD the disease is usually chronic. Long term studies (around 10 years) have shown that only 10% are asymptomatic without treatment.  Non-erosive disease usually does not (<25%) progress into esophagitis. However, only few long term studies are available.

Pathophysiology of GERD  The disease is present when pathologic exposure of the esophageal lumen to gastric juice occurs and this can be a pathologic amount of duodenal components such as bile. The most frequent condition in gastroesophageal reflux disease is pathologic acid exposure and therefore this is often used synonymously.

The antireflux barrier  The main reason for pathologic reflux is a malfunction of the antireflux barrier at the level of the gastroesophageal junction.  The intraabdominal portion of the lower esophageal sphincter is involved in preventing reflux during the swallowing of the patient. Both the intraabdominal sphincter length and the pinching effect of the diaphragm helps to close the sphincter during elevation of intraabdominal pressure.



The mechanical incompetence of the lower esophageal sphincter has been described by the De Meester, using as relevant criteria the overall length of the sphincter which is in the physiologic situation 3-4cm long at the distal end of the esophagus. The resting tone of the sphincter characterized by the lower esophageal sphincter pressure varies in healthy volunteers in relation to the gastric pressure between 10 and 30 mmHg.

Esophageal peristalsis  Esophageal clearance and peristaltic function of the esophageal body is also involved in producing increased esophageal exposure to gastric juice. The physiologic swallowing function is involved in the neutralizing acid of reflux by enabling to swallow saliva.

Mucosal resistance  It is however an important factor in assessing the ability of gastric juice to cause toxic effects in the esophageal wall. Duodeno-gastroesophageal reflux: Gastric disorders  The backup of gastric contents in the intraduodenal segment due to delayed gastric emptying can cause pathologic acid reflux into esophagus.

Ph ysiol ogy  The

antireflux mechanism consists of a valvular cardia, the propulsive pump action of the esophagus and a reservoir function of the stomach. Failure of any may lead to abdominal esophageal exposure to gastric juice.

Pu mp Physiology: Esophageal clearance of refluxed material involves:  The volumic clearance related to the esophageal peristalsis and gravity.  The chemical clearance related to salivation Failure: f) Reduction of the volumic clearance (hiatal hernia) g) Reduction of the chemical clearance (reduction of saliva)

Valve Physiology: the antireflux valve includes: b) The LOWER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER (LES)

Evaluation: Evaluation of the GERD can be divided into mandatory and selective tests. The selection of the test is based on a decisional algorithm starting with the evaluation of the symptom of the patient. Mandatory tests - endoscopy - esophageal monometry - barium swallow

Selective tests - 24 hrs pH monitoring - 24 hrs monometry - 24 hrs bilimetry - gastric emptying

HIAT AL H ER NIA Physiology

• Classification: Currently three hernias are generally

recognized: 85% of all hiatal hernias are of the sliding kind.

Sliding Hiatal Hernia

• There is relaxation of the phrenoesophageal ligaments

and enlargement of the hiatal muscular tunnel. Thus, the gastric cardia may be allowed to herniate upward into the enlarged hiatus. If the hernia is large the entire fundus of the stomach can slide into the thorax

Paraesophageal Hernia

• It represents herniation of the gastric fundus through the esophageal hiatus along side the esophagus, while the cardiaesophageal junction is maintained in normal position

Mixed Hiatal Hernia

• The gastroesophageal junction slips above the diaphragm and the localized defect permits protrusion varying amount of stomach



tüm popülasyonun %5’inde GERD’li popülasyonun %50-60’ında mevcuttur. HH’lerin %94’ünde reflü mevcuttur. Paraözofageal herniler HH’lerin %5-10’ında rastlanır.

Hiatal Herni

Symptoms

• most individuals with hiatal hernia are asymptomatic • gastroesophageal reflux is the major complication related hiatal hernia. Ph monitoring reveals reflux in 83% of patients with hiatal hernia versus 43% in those without; bleeding chest pain dyspnea and substernal discomfort dysphagia

Evaluation • Barium upper GI series

• •

Endoscopy Esophageal monometry

In the herniated stomach, the pressure is negative (intrathoracic pressure).The characteristical feature in monometric study is the gap between the RIP and the high pressure zone of the LES. Monometry allows also study of associated esophageal motility disorder.

Surgery Principles of surgical repair involves: • placement of the hernias contents in the abdominal cavity • repair of the crural defect • combined antireflux procedure (65% of postoperative reflux if not)
