Several structures lying close to the esophageal hiatus of the diaphragm may be injured in surgical procedures on the hiatus. The anatomic proximity of the lower third of the esophagus to the right pleura creates the risk of accidental entrance into the pleural cavity during abdominal operations on the esophageal hiatus.
