About this work
Description
This film begins with the patient, a 52-year-old miner with known osophageal hiatus hernia, describing his symptoms to a GP while a voice-over narrator tells us a little about the surgical procedure to follow in the film. We see a barium x-ray study showing reflux from the stomach into the esophagus. The rest, and indeed the majority, of the film presents a detailed, close-up recording of the repair of the esophageal hiatus hernia, using the sphincter reconstruction technique. The surgeon is R.H.R. Belsey, Surgeon-in-Chief, Thoracic Surgical Unit, Bristol, UK. The film ends with the cured patient showing his healed scar and the narrator explaining that this surgery works in 90% of cases.

Notes
This video cassette comes from the Monica Britton Medical History Collection, which was based at Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, now closed. The museum was founded in 1985 by a generous donation from the late Mr. J. Britton in memory of his wife who came from a medical family and was extremely interested in education. The collection included a wide spectrum of surgical, medical, anaesthetic, radiological and pharmaceutical artefacts, together with books, catalogues and photographs.
