2019, Best Practice and Research: Clinical GastroenterologyCitation Excerpt :In the patients evaluated with endoscopy because of dyspeptic symptoms, 42% of those with a hiatus hernia did not have esophagitis while 63% of patients with endoscopically confirmed esophagitis had hiatus hernia. Patients without a hiatus hernia or with a small hiatus hernia had similar abnormalities of lower esophageal sphincter function and acid clearance; however, patients with a large hiatus hernia showed shorter and weaker lower esophageal sphincter, greater reflux and less effective acid clearance [4]. It is possible that hiatus hernia might be the result of GERD and a contributing factor for advanced disease but not the initiator of the disease process.
