  2. Esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophagogastric_junction...

    Normal peristalsis with an obstruction at the esophagogastric junction (elevated IRP) is consistent with EGJOO. [3] Upper endoscopy is used to evaluate for mechanical causes of obstruction. [2] Endoscopic findings may include a hiatal hernia, esophagitis, strictures, tumors, or masses. [2]

  3. Elevated alkaline phosphatase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevated_alkaline_phosphatase

    Elevated levels are also associated with diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease; it was found that elevated levels are associated with elevated serum C-reactive protein (CRP), which could reflect an inflammatory and atherogenic milieu, possibly an alternative cause for elevated serum alkaline phosphatase. [10] Chronic kidney disease ...

  4. Hiatal hernia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiatal_hernia

    A hiatal hernia or hiatus hernia [2] is a type of hernia in which abdominal organs (typically the stomach) slip through the diaphragm into the middle compartment of the chest. [1] [3] This may result in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) with symptoms such as a taste of acid in the back of the mouth or heartburn.

  5. Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laparoscopic_hiatal_hernia...

    A laparoscopic hernia repair is when the hiatal hernia is corrected using a covering for the mesh that is used to repair the weakened area. The defect is then measured and the mesh is stapled into place. [6] A benefit of performing Laparoscopic hernia repair is shorter recovery times compared to other methods.

  6. Cameron lesions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_lesions

    A large hiatal hernia. Two x-rays from the same examination. On lying down (A) more stomach slides above the diaphragm than when upright (B) Note constriction of stomach at diaphragm level. Cameron lesions. A long linear erosion and smaller non-linear erosions on the crests of inflamed gastric folds at the level of the diaphragm.

  7. C-reactive protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-reactive_protein

    CRP level is an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic disease. Patients with high CRP concentrations are more likely to develop stroke, myocardial infarction, and severe peripheral vascular disease. [60] Elevated level of CRP can also be observed in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. [40] [61]

  8. Hernia repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hernia_repair

    The first differentiating factor in hernia repair is whether the surgery is done open, or laparoscopically. Open hernia repair is when an incision is made in the skin directly over the hernia. Laparoscopic hernia repair is when minimally invasive cameras and equipment are used and the hernia is repaired with only small incisions adjacent to the ...

  9. Post herniorraphy pain syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_herniorraphy_pain...

    Post herniorrhaphy pain syndrome, or inguinodynia is pain or discomfort lasting greater than 3 months after surgery of inguinal hernia. Randomized trials of laparoscopic vs open inguinal hernia repair have demonstrated similar recurrence rates with the use of mesh and have identified that chronic groin pain (>10%) surpasses recurrence (<2%) and is an important measure of success.
