Minimally invasive surgery for esophageal achalasia

, 2006
Esophageal achalasia is the most commonly diagnosed primary esophageal motor disorder and the second most common functional esophageal disorder. Current therapy of achalasia is directed toward elimination of the outflow resistance caused by failure of ...

Difference of achalasia subtypes based on clinical symptoms, radiographic findings, and stasis scores

Revista de Gastroenterología de México (English Edition), 2018
Introduction: Three subtypes of achalasia have been defined through high-resolution esophageal manometry: subtype i shows no pressurization with swallows, subtype ii has increased isobaric panesophageal pressure, and subtype iii has distal esophageal ...

Clinical Characteristics and Novel Manometric Features of Pseudoachalasia: Identification of Loss of Respiratory Variation in Lower Esophageal Sphincter Pressure

JGH Open, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Pseudoachalasia closely mimics idiopathic achalasia in both symptoms and high‐resolution manometry (HRM) findings, making accurate diagnosis difficult. This study aimed to clarify the clinical characteristics of pseudoachalasia encountered at our institution and identify novel manometric findings specific to this condition.

Foreign body ingestions in children and adolescents: A position paper of the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) endoscopy special interest group

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Volume 83, Issue 3, Page 539-554, September 2026.
Abstract Foreign body (FB) ingestion is a relatively frequent occurrence in the pediatric population with multiple potential sequelae. Appropriate intervention may range from urgent endoscopic retrieval to watchful waiting, with multiple variables influencing the decision.

Radiological evaluation of esophageal function in dysphagia with special emphasis on achalasia [PDF]

, 2008
In idiopathic achalasia, degeneration of the inhibitory innervation of the esophageal smooth muscle results in absence of primary peristalsis and in incomplete relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).

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

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 41, Issue 9, Page 2613-2622, September 2026.
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 ...

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.
