Unintentional Weight Loss Does Not Predict Poor Outcomes in Zenker Diverticulum

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In this study of 427 patients with Zenker's diverticulum, 23.6% had significant unintentional preoperative weight loss. Weight loss was associated with preoperative dysphagia and with both the smallest and largest pouches. Postoperative outcomes were similar in patients with and without weight loss, demonstrating a similar efficacy and safety profile ...

Pediatric Esophageal Biomechanics and Remodeling: Integrating Distensibility and Compliance Beyond Luminal Diameter

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.
Esophageal distensibility and compliance provide physiologic information beyond luminal diameter alone in pediatric esophageal disease. This review proposes a practical biomechanics‐informed framework integrating FLIP assessment into interpretation of dysphagia, esophageal remodeling, dilation response, and therapeutic decision‐making in children ...

High-resolution manometry in achalasia of esophagus

Revista Cubana de Medicina Militar, 2021
Introduction: High-resolution esophageal manometry is the ideal test for the diagnosis of achalasia and shows the presence of tertiary waves or aperistalsis and increased pressure, in the absence of relaxation, of the lower esophageal sphincter ...

Endoscopic Pseudo‐dilation of Esophagogastric Junction During Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy: (With Video)

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim During peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) for achalasia, endoscopic esophagogastric junction (EGJ) opening is generally considered a sign of successful myotomy. However, in clinical practice, the EGJ may appear to open immediately after submucosal tunneling, even before myotomy is performed.

Esophageal achalasia

, 2018
Achalasia is a rare disease that affects esophageal motility as result of myenteric denervation of the esophagus and in a large proportion of cases, stomach. Its causes remain still poorly elucidated and its diagnosis remains late, reporting a delay of at least 5 years from the onset of symptoms, often confused with conditions such as gastroesophageal ...

Esophageal Cancer Secondary to Achalasia: A Case Series Study

Case Reports in Gastroenterology
Introduction: Achalasia is a primary motility disorder affecting the esophageal body and lower esophageal sphincter. Although the linkage between achalasia and elevated esophageal cancer risk is already known, the precise mechanisms remain ...

Risk of esophageal cancer in achalasia cardia: A meta‐analysis

JGH Open, 2019
Introduction The association between cancer of the esophagus and achalasia has long been recognized. However, it has also been recognized that cancers themselves can give rise to achalasia‐like syndromes. The risk of developing cancer is also a factor in
