The Incidance Of Asymptomatic Sliding Her-nias in The Patients Undergone Gastroscopy

Endoscopic diagnosis and Evaluation of Asym-ptomatic sliding Hernias Intermittent or continous protrision of esophagogastric junction and/or pro-xitnal segment of stomach is called "Hiatal Her This anatomical change of location results in dysfunction of cardia continence. While it can have an asymptomatic course, hiatal hernia can re-sult in complications like gastroesophageal reflux and peptic esophagitis. In this stdudv we observed retrospectively. The incidence of hiatal hernia, the complaint and diagnoses of 76 patients who can re-sulted Cerrahyapa Medical faculty General Surgery Department Endoscopy section in order to have en-doscopic investigation in 1995. Sliding Hiatal Hernia was detected in 47 (61.8%) of our patients. We found symptoms due to sliding Hernia in 3 (6.4%) of these patients. Ac-cording to this we concluded that the incidence of asymptomatic sliding hernia is quite high in the so-ciety and that this pathology that reveals itself du-ring investigations due to other causes does not re-quire any therapy as for as it is not symptomatic and we compared this with the literature that is scant.
