Measurement of the esophageal hiatus by calculation of the hiatal surface area (HSA). Why, when and how?

I read with great pleasure the ‘‘Letters to the editor’’ by Dr. Fourtanier and Dr. Reardon [1,2] regarding the problem of hiatal closure and particularly the definition and measurement of the hiatal defect. [...] Key Method For measurement of the hiatal defect, an endoscopic ruler is brought intrabdominally. Firstly, the length of the crura is measured in centimetres beginning at the crural commisure up to the edge where the Pars flaccida begins (radius R).Expand
