"Alright, next we'll take a look at your endoscopy results. We need to discuss this thoroughly and cover what we didn't talk about yesterday."
Liu Banxia said with a smile.
The patient nodded to his wife, and their expressions became tense.
"Hiatal hernia is actually quite common nowadays, but it's often misdiagnosed. It's because it frequently occurs with gastroesophageal reflux, and during the endoscopy, the operator's experience is needed to aid in the diagnosis."
"Sometimes the size and shape of the hernia, among other things, can have an impact. Current detection rate via endoscopy is around 50%, so it's not guaranteed that every case will be detected."
"Looking at your endoscopy results, the z-line at the lower esophagus is elevated, and the cardia is somewhat enlarged and relaxed, which indicates the condition."
"Director Liu, are we going to do the surgery tomorrow?" the patient's wife asked.
