Tiller Cardiac Resection

Rumpel's Cardia Resection is a surgical procedure performed to treat diseases associated with the cardia, the lower part of the esophagus. This operation was first proposed by the German surgeon Theodor Rumpel in 1862.

Tiller resection of the cardia can be used to treat various diseases, such as:

1. Cardia cancer
2. Hiatal hernia
3. Gastroesophageal reflux disease
4. Stomach ulcer
5. Achalasia cardia
6. Esophageal diverticula

The operation is performed through an incision in the front wall of the abdomen and involves removing part of the cardia and creating a new connection between the stomach and esophagus. After surgery, the patient may experience discomfort and pain for a few days, but in most cases it goes away quickly.

L.F. Rumpel (1861-1940) is one of the first Russian surgeons who discovered the essence and direction of duodenal surgery. Treatment of gastric bleeding in children with perforated duodenal ulcers is one of Rumple's earliest operations. This was due to the fact that in Russian medicine until the end of the 19th century, only two possibilities for diagnosing pathological conditions of the gastrointestinal tract were considered - the visceral and somatic picture. X-ray scanning of the abdominal cavity gained mass popularity only in the 20th century.
