Peculiarities of the esophagogastric junction

Abstract

Disorders of the esophagogastric junction's closing function are currently quite common. Congenital anomalies of the digestive system account for approximately 17.8% of all malformations and are a significant cause of perinatal mortality. Increasingly frequent cases of congenital pathology in the esophagogastric segment highlight the need for focused scientific attention on this issue. The aim of the study. To investigate the structure and topographic development of the esophagogastric junction during the perinatal period of ontogenesis.
