if the hiatal orifice is enlarged and if the phrenoesophageal membrane is stretched after correcting the hiatal orifice , the preferable operation is the partitionning one which gives a better correction and satisfies the other factors ( a large fundus , an abdominal esophagus of 5-6 cms in length , side to side apposition of the esophagus and fundus , an inverted cone-shaped lower esophagus ) , on the condition that a selective calibration is effected in the new cardia ( a diameter of 10-11 mm for the esophagogastric opening ) overtopped by a reconstructed esophagus shaped like the mouth piece of a flute ( a one way valve ) .
