Objective To provide a reliable experimental model for gastroesophageal reflux (GER) study. Methods Twenty Japan 5-month-old male rabbits wererandomly divided into two groups: group cardiomyotomy(n=10), group partial cardiomyectomy(n=10). The operations of cardiomyotomy and parital cardiomyectomy were performed in 2 groups respectively. All the animals underwent intraesophagealpH detection 1 week before operation and 4 weeks after operation. The mean changes of reflux ratios were compared between before operation and after operation.Results In gastroesophageal reflux ratio between before operation and after operation, there was no significant difference in group cardiomyotomy (1.98%±1.52% and 4.32%±2.39%, Pgt;0.05) and there was significant difference in group partialcardiomyectomy（1.56%±1.57% and 13.56%±3.27%, Plt;0.05）. Conclusion The reliable experimental model of GER can be made with procedure of partial cardiomyectomy. It can be used in estimating the operative procedure of antireflux and is conducive to dynamic observation and study of esophagitis.
