A member asked:

How big is my hiatal hernia? sliding small size hiatal hernia was seen,displacing the z-line to 38cm from the incisors,with hiatal narrowing at 42cm from the incisors,retroflexion view in the stomach confirmed the size and morphology of the hernia?

The numbers here describe the location of your hiatal hernia. Using the gastroscope as a sort of tape measure and using your incisor teeth as the starting point, the hernia pushes the z-line up to 38cm. The narrowing is more concerning if it narrows so much that the hernia becomes “incarcerated” and stops sliding. There is no number here to define the width of the hernia.
