Heartburn and regurgitation were found to be more common in the group with hernias larger than 5 cm. Patients with hernias greater than 3 cm had shorter LES with lower resting pressure and lower contraction amplitudes in the distal esophagus than patients with no hernia or hernias smaller than 3 cm. The patients with longer hernias also had more esophageal acid exposure and reduced acid clearance in comparison to those with small or no hernias. Ott et al. have also published a large series of 319 patients who had undergone barium esophagogram and 24-h pH monitoring to determine the correlation between presence and size of hiatal hernia using 24-h pH monitoring as a measure of degree of gastroesophageal reflux (15).
The authors concluded that recommending cessation of smoking was reasonable but questioned whether improvement in overall esophagitis would be noted. Risk Factors for GERD 43 In another study by Kahrilas and Gupta (52), esophageal manometry and pH monitoring were performed to determine the effect of smoking on LES function in eight normal nonsmokers, nine asymptomatic smokers, and nine smokers with hiatal hernia and endoscopic or histological evidence of esophagitis. Baseline manometry revealed that LES pressures were lowest in the smokers with GERD, higher in asymptomatic smokers, and highest in the nonsmoking controls.
