Abstract
Our study suggest that sliding hiatal hernia may play a significant role as a pathophysiologic factor in Barrett´s oesophagus. Complications rate of Barrett´s oesophagus were not equally frequent in particular cases with hiatal hernia.
The occurrence of symptoms is getting more pronounced in those with sliding hiatal hernia.
