The Impact of Early Oral Feeding on Post‐Operative Morbidity After Esophagectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

World Journal of Surgery, Volume 50, Issue 7, Page 1982-1991, July 2026.
Anastomotic leak and post‐operative pneumonia are major contributors to postoperative morbidity following esophagectomy and have traditionally led to delays in oral feed initiation. Newer evidence, however, suggests early initiation of feeds may be safe.

Validation of the Milan Score Using Prolonged Wireless PH Monitoring

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 177-185, July 2026.
The Milan Score, a high‐resolution manometry‐derived tool, predicts pathological GERD on 96‐h wireless pH monitoring with high specificity and positive predictive value, maintaining robust discriminative performance across both typical and atypical symptom profiles and outperforming single HRM parameters as a standalone manometric parameter.

Endoscopy in achalasia [PDF]

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1974
Summary In achalasia oesophagoscopy should be used to rule out definitely carcinoma of the cardia involving the myenteric plexus of the lower oesophageal sphincter. An easy passage of the instrument through the narrow terminal segment is characteristic but not always possible due to extreme distortion.

Accuracy of Novice Raters for Esophageal Motility Classifications Using Functional Lumen Imaging Probe Panometry

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 7, July 2026.
Eight novice raters without motility experience completed brief FLIP panometry training and interpreted 40 studies using v1.0 and v2.0 classification schemes. Accuracy compared to expert consensus was high (v1.0: 0.78, v2.0: 0.73), with good‐to‐moderate interrater agreement (v1.0: κ 0.61, v2.0: κ 0.55).
