Concurrent Diagnosis of Superficial Esophageal Cancer and Esophageal Achalasia: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
DEN OpenABSTRACT We report a case of a 70‐year‐old woman with esophageal achalasia and concurrent superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Three adjacent superficial lesions were resected en bloc by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), with no lymphovascular invasion.

Who Needs Endoscopic Removal of Food Residue From the Esophagus Before Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy for Esophageal Achalasia and Esophagogastric Junction Outflow Obstruction? [PDF]
DEN OpenABSTRACT Objectives Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an established treatment for esophageal achalasia. Despite favorable outcomes, the risk of reflux aspiration during general anesthesia induction in POEM remains a concern. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for food residue in the esophagus before POEM and evaluate the necessity of ...

Histopathological Analysis of Esophageal Mucosa in Patients with Achalasia
Gut and Liver, 2021 Background/Aims: Achalasia is an esophageal motor disorder that leads to functional esophageal obstruction. Food stasis and bacterial fermentation can predispose an individual to esophageal mucosal inflammation, causing multifocal dysplasia and ...

Non-achalasia esophageal motility disorders: Role of per-oral endoscopic myotomy
International Journal of Gastrointestinal Intervention, 2020 Major disorders of esophageal peristalsis other than achalasia include Jackhammer esophagus (JHE), distal esophageal spasm (DES), and esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO).

Functional restoration of the esophagus after peroral endoscopic myotomy for achalasia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a new efficacious treatment option for achalasia. We propose to define "esophageal remodeling" as the functional restoration of the esophagus that involves decreased lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure, recovery

Treatment of esophageal achalasia in children: Today and tomorrow [PDF]
, 2015 Esophageal achalasia (EA) is a rare esophageal motility disorder in children. Laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) represents the treatment of choice in young patients. Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is becoming an alternative to LHM.
