A prosthesis in the form of a flexible tube having a substantially uniform cross-section is disclosed. The prosthesis comprises a flange (2) for endoscopically placing stitches or clips in a hiatal hernia (3), and a flexible tubular portion (1) enabling the tube to be squeezed by exerting a pressure (F) on the outer surface thereof to prevent a reflux of the stomach contents into the oesophagus. Food can pass freely through the prosthesis in the direction from the oesophagus (4) to the stomach (5). Said prosthesis is made of a biocompatible polymer optionally containing barium sulphate to make it detectable using X-rays.
Cette prothèse a la forme d'un conduit tubulaire souple de section sensiblement constante. La prothèse comporte une collerette (2) permettant la pose de points de suture ou d'agraphes par voie endoscopique dans une hemie hiatale (3) et une partie tubulaire (1) souple permettant son écrasement par une pression (F) exercée sur sa face externe empêchant ainsi le reflux du contenu gastrique dans l'oesophage. La nourriture peut librement passer à travers la prothèse dans le sens oesophage (4) estomac (5). Elle est fabriquée en un polymère biocompatible pouvant contenir du sulfate de barium servant au repérage radiologique.
