Abstract
A diaphragmatic hernia or redundant conduit may occur years after esophagectomy. Hernias almost always occur adjacent to the greater curve of the stomach. The development of a redundant conduit may be associated with a functional outflow obstruction. Surgical correction of these conditions can alleviate symptoms in the majority of patients.
