Successful Management of Esophageal Perforation with Self-Expandable Metal Stent following Pneumatic Dilation for Achalasia Cardia

Journal of Digestive Endoscopy, 2019
Achalasia cardia is the most common cause of motor dysphagia. Pneumatic dilation (PD) of lower esophageal sphincter remains the cornerstone of treatment. However, it is associated with esophageal perforation in some cases. We present a case of esophageal

Ulcerative Esophagitis With Marked Eosinophilic Infiltration and Fluorodeoxyglucose–Positron Emission Tomography Positivity Requiring Differentiation From Esophagogastric Junction Carcinoma

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Esophagitis with marked eosinophilic infiltration, including eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), can rarely present with ulceration or stricture. We report a rare case of positron emission tomography–positive esophagitis with marked eosinophilic infiltration accompanied by ulceration and stricture, requiring differentiation from esophagogastric ...

Robotic‐Assisted Epiphrenic and Mid‐Oesophageal Diverticulectomy: A Tertiary Centre Experience

The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery, Volume 22, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Surgical management of oesophageal pulsion diverticula is advised when symptoms significantly impair quality of life. Robotics can aid in transhiatal dissection in diverticulectomy, but available evidence is limited. Methods A retrospective chart review of all consecutive robotic‐assisted oesophageal diverticulectomies with Heller ...

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.
