The "esophageal" length, i.e., incisors-esophagogastric mucosal junction distance, was measured endoscopically in 758 patients, retrospectively. Two hundred twenty-five additional patients were evaluated prospectively and their height and weight were measured. All patients were analyzed according to their age and sex, indication for the procedure, and its endoscopic diagnosis. "Esophageal" length was found to be significantly longer in male patients. Fifty-three percent of the examined population had "esophageal" length shorter than 38 cm, whereas 99% of patients with normal endoscopy had "esophageal" length of 38-40 cm. Linear correlation was found between "esophageal" length and height, but not with weight. Patients with dyspepsia and esophagitis had a "shorter" esophagus, whereas those with tumors of the upper gastrointestinal tract and those with duodenal ulcer had a "longer" esophagus.
对758例患者进行回顾性内镜测量“食管”长度，即切牙至食管胃黏膜交界处的距离。另外225例患者进行前瞻性评估，并测量其身高和体重。所有患者均根据年龄、性别、手术指征及其内镜诊断进行分析。发现男性患者的“食管”长度明显更长。53%的受检人群“食管”长度短于38厘米，而内镜检查正常的患者中99%的“食管”长度为38 - 40厘米。发现“食管”长度与身高之间存在线性相关性，但与体重无关。消化不良和食管炎患者的“食管”较短，而上消化道肿瘤患者和十二指肠溃疡患者的“食管”较长。
