Abstract
Conclusion. - The diaphragmatic hernia after œsophagectomy is due to excessive hiatal enlargement. Hernias occurring early after oesophagectomy are badly tolerated and need urgent reoperation. To prevent this complication of oesophagectomy, we advocate calibration of diaphragmatic hiatus fit to width of gastroplasty.
